But again why do you say this without taking into consideration “Kong: Skull Island” did nearly $600 million WW, this movie has BOTH Godzilla and Kong going head to head which is what audiences want with a movie like this and that we have yet to see a trailer. You’re solely basing this on KOTM underperforming last year which was due to a lot of different things not just the movie itself.

3 questions- 1. I'd like to know exactly where you and others on this site seem to get information that the movie will "bomb". We have no trailer and no marketing campaign has started yet so how can you come to such an absurd conclusion? The MonsterVerse as a whole is a billion dollar plus franchise with only 3 movies. 2 of the films made half a billion WW while the other film simply under performed. So you really expect me to believe that "Godzilla vs Kong" a movie featuring two cinematic icons for the first time in nearly 60 years will bomb based on....what? Hasn't this same exact thing also been said for each of the other 3 movies too? 2. I'd also like to ask why you and others on this site seem to have a hate boner for this film and franchise. The posts I have read on this topic seem to indicate that you guys are actively rooting for this film to fail. Why? Why would people on a website dedicated to movies actively root for a film to struggle at the box office? If you don't like it fine by why want it to fail? 3. Does the box office even matter anymore? The movie is coming out regardless. The whole plan from the beginning from Legendary was to do an American Godzilla trilogy. They have done that. Everyone expected them to end at a trilogy anyways. No matter what this does at the box office the Godzilla franchise won't go away. These movies have already brought the franchise back to life. The movie industry is changing now especially due to current events. The rise of streaming has become a massive game changer. Plus this is Legendary's franchise not WB. Legendary and Toho will keep it going in some way shape or form be it through movies, streaming tv shows or whatever. GvK will also have merchandising too which will bring in more money. So factor in merchandising, home video/digital sales and streaming...the box office is just another fraction. At the end of the day no matter what this does the Godzilla franchise isn't going away despite what folks on here seem to hope for.
