This movie was laugh out loud bad. I made it 2/3 and had to stop. Terrible CGI, plot was so laughable, and the dialogue is like an even worse version of CSI: Miami.

I think that's not bad, concidering the pandemic situation.

Godzilla is OP

Is that including streaming on HBO Max, amazon prime, Google play store and wherever else it can be rented? Because there is no way that number is anything other than just the cinemas

Is it better than the old rubber suit Japanese version?

I loved it!

Let’s not forget the billions that movies like Avatar and Endgame

How are they factoring in HBO Max? Or are they at all? That's how we watched it last night.

All the idiots that say 'it's bad'. Godzilla KOM made $47M debut with all theaters open full capacity, no pandemic, no day and date HBO Max stream. STFU, dummies. This is massive considering we're still in a pandemic.

the replies are insane… where did the hate train come from lmao.

Todd_Garner It was boring. Felt like I’ve already seen it a million times. Mortal Kombat looks better

Thats still a bad number for having more theaters open due to the stimulus and vaccination numbers considering the films budget.

Isn't that basically flop numbers?

Reminds me of my “War” with Aust. Radio John Laws !

sounds good in these times. but these big budget blockbusters are still gonna struggle to make profit. Hollywood is definitely gonna be restricting budgets far far more now. No indulgences.

Can all of the studios stop delaying movies now?

Bad movie just watched it

Amazing what people will watch when they're bored...
