They really need to just do the duel/hybrid release. Give the option to go to the theater or watch it on Disney +. I mean, they could always charge the viewer like they did with Mulan to watch it on Disney +.
We’ll be still wearing masks into 2022. What WB is doing is treating their films like blockbusters... giving money to the filmmakers etc. plus they will have a box office run still(smaller of course). WB is banking on HBOMax subscriptions.
It gives these companies the advantage to make money but also move on to their next slate of movies... for instance Legendary can now start looking at productions beyond Godzilla vs Kong and Dune. Hell, they might be able to pull off another Monsterverse film for 2023 now simply because they’re not so boggled up in what to do with GvsKong.
Any vibrations of Godzilla vs Kongs release in China? Assuming it’ll most likely get released right around that March 26th date. GvsKong will most likely do very well there too.
I think a good chance for the delay is because of the China/Hong Kong relations. It’s already known that Hong Kong is a major location for the film. LP and WB might be scared of losing that China $, which is highly important for the Monsterverse. They could be going as far as to completely changing Hong Kong to another city.
Yeah, WB has completely changed the way they release trailers/marketing etc... probably won’t be any kind of teaser for another month.
However, there WAS a 1 minute teaser a week ago at that expo. I’d say this is still on track.
Will be out in March. Was just part of a expo in Russia for WB films where they even showed a clip.

I don’t know how accurate the numbers website is, but they have a pretty significant difference in worldwide box office total by about 10m. I would tend to go with bom, but found this interesting.
They have it at 387 worldwide.

I think KotM will get there. Probably will make another 2m from Monday through Sunday.. will get that last 1.5 for sure. Actually think it can get to 111-112.
Yup looks done in China now. Might get another 1-2m there since it’ll play the whole month.
Actually starting to hold better in Japan now. Could get another 4m there(including this whole week).
I agree though, looks like 380-385 total.
Yup updated today. At 365. Another 10 domestic and 15 more OS(including China and Japan) would get it to 390. Spain doesn’t look to be breaking out.
Maybe it it can get more domestically and maybe extend itself in China.... but 400 looks to be slightly out of reach for sure.
If it can have a mini box office run in Spain, it could sneak it’s way to 400m WW.
Maybe it can get to 120 domestically with strong holds. 140 in China has a shot now with the month extension. Japan is fizzling... looking at like 26-29 maybe there.
At 345 now
+17 China
+21 domestic
+6 Japan
= 389
If Spain can get 5-6m surely everywhere else can get that little bit more for 400
Would be fantastic if KotM could sneak its way to 140m usd.
Really the only good story out of its box office run... though domestic holds are strong right now. Would love 400m WW. Not sure if still possible though.
So Godzilla pulled in just under 1m on Monday. Seems pretty good. What can we expect the rest of this week and this weekend. I’m sure the plug will pretty much be pulled after this weekend. Still hoping it can get itself over 130m.
