The Big Picture It’s been a highly unexpected return to form for the MonsterVerse franchise, which appeared to be doomed just some years ago, but has since delivered major box office numbers and completed a successful expansion onto streaming. This weekend, the franchise’s latest installment, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, passed a handful of significant box office milestones.
Also directed by Adam Wingard, Godzilla vs. Kong was particularly successful in China, where it made around $190 million. But China as a market has shown declining returns for Hollywood films in the post-pandemic era, which was taken into consideration by W.B. and Legendary as they put Godzilla x Kong together. It’s reportedly the cheapest movie of the series, but despite cost-cutting, it has generated over $100 million from China nevertheless.
Godzilla x Kong was released just some weeks after the unrelated Japanese film Godzilla Minus One emerged as a runaway crossover hit, grossing over $50 million domestically and eventually going on to win an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. The movie’s success and goodwill must’ve certainly helped generate interest for Godzilla x Kong. Starring Rebecca Hall, Bryan Tyree Henry and Dan Stevens, the movie is playing in theaters. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
