“Godzilla: King of the Monsters” is the third installment in Legendary’s MonsterVerse, launched well behind its predecessors, 2014’s “Godzilla” and 2017’s “Kong: Skull Island” . Like those films, the latest tentpole is expecting to make majority of its ticket sales overseas, where the eponymous other-worldly creature is a huge hit. “King of the Monsters” bowed with $130 million at the international box office for a global opening weekend of $179 million.
Another newcomer this weekend, Paramount’s “Rocketman,” took off in third place with $25 million in ticket sales, which, coincidentally, is roughly the same number of sunglasses Taron Egerton wore to play Elton John in the fantasy biopic directed by Dexter Fletcher. In fourth place, Universal and Blumhouse’s “Ma,” a psychological thriller starring Octavia Spencer, picked up $18.2 million when it opened on 2,808 screens. That represents a promising start given the film’s $5 million production budget. “Ma,” Spencer’s first solo leading role, follows a lonely middle aged woman who befriends some teenagers after they ask her to buy alcohol for them. After Ma lets the high schoolers party in her basement, the festivities start to take an creepy turn.
I have seen the original 5X. I don't need sequels or remakes.
Well the first one was shit.
😂😂😂 worst trailer only.
Why another one? Has Hollywood run out of Rocket Juice? What happened to creativity and ground breaking films. Redo after redo. Why don’t we see titles like The Matrix -Cramers Law and the rise of the determinant.
HighSierraMan Statement from management of Mr. G. Zilla: 'Mr. Zilla thanks his many fans for turning out to see his new film but the disappointing grosses have led him to confront a painful truth about his eating disorder and he is now seeking help.'
Compared to mega block busters set up over the course of a decade maybe. This puts the movie on track to rake in a quarter of a billion. That's not a success story?
Movie kicked all kinds of Godzilla Ass !
If it comes to Netflix I’ll give it a try. But those films usually come out pretty bad. Jack Black’s King Kong was a rare exception.

realDonaldTrump says Godzilla is best film ever made, calls mediocre opening fake news
This is not surprising. Can we stop with Godzilla remakes now? Maybe? The original isn't even a success - it's just a cult hit. Can we PLEASE move on from making reboots, remakes, re-imaginings now?
Why would anybody think a Godzilla movie in 2019 was a good idea?
OF COURSE IT DID, ANOTHER CHUM-BUCKET REMAKE

The Box Office Failure Of Olivia Wilde's 'Booksmart' Is A Sadly Predictable TragedyMale directors can snag promising studio features from a well-reviewed flop, but female directors generally cannot. This was a movie I enjoyed ALOT... but i was looking forward to it. The people i went with wouldn’t have seen it if I didn’t invite them. Bad release date, and I think focusing on the wrong things in the previews are the issues. Watch Goodboys make all the right marketing decisions this got wrong and then FilmTwitter will really lose its shit. Would've been much better if they did this as a Netflix movie.

‘Aladdin’ Flies to Healthy Opening at the Box OfficeWalt Disney’s “Aladdin”—the latest in a series of live-action remakes of the company’s beloved titles—opened with a strong performance at the box office, delivering a win for a studio strategy that has so far yielded rocky results. A fucking abomination and a sign of End Times. The animated version is my younger sister's best movie. As a $DIS shareholder, sure, I’m happy. As a lover of film, “Booksmart” deserved the tens of millions of dollars that “Aladdin” (2019) somehow brought in at the box office:
