Godzilla OS, Huge debut, drops like a stone afterwards.

[Blackout]

$38 million weekend, $36 million from China. #1 international box office for the weekend.

[John Marston]

If Godzilla only makes 69 m China then 300m overseas will be barely passed likely. Passing PR might not happen

[Godzilla]

It's looking to hit $330-340M OS. 

[Rudolf]

my bet stands Godzilla will make in Japan less than 1/3rd what it makes in China

[Bishop54]

It's looking to hit $330-340M OS. 

 

How so? I'm not seeing it at all.

[Godzilla]

248M 

Rest of China - (50M)

Japan - $30-40M

More like the rest of China $30M-$35M and Japan $20M-$25M.

Surprise .... despite a much lower DOM gross, PR had similar OS gross to this  Godzilla.

Looks like around $300M overseas is around the max for a giant monster film, they look to have a limited audience.

[Jake Gittes]

It's not about the audience, it's about quality and competition

[Manu Delpech]

It's about plenty of things......

[Godzilla]

More like the rest of China $30M-$35M and Japan $20M-$25M.

With Maleficent and TF4 coming to town I think you're getting your hopes up.

[Mulder]

How have fantasy films been doing in China recently?

They also look to have a limited quality,

[John Marston]

just remembered that the 1998 movie made 242.7m overseas 16 years ago without 3D. 

[Ajbg]

But in 1998 There was a lot less movies. One or two tentpoles in summer.Now There is one tentpoles almost every week in summer.

And that is the reason why there were drops. WB happened to give bad release dates to movies like Edge Of Tomorrow and Godzilla which would have grossed a lot more than Jupiter Ascending, and Jupiter Ascending happened to get the best release date 

[Manu Delpech]

Godzilla just got hit hard by the onslaught of blockbusters. It's kind of what happens, one blockbuster comes and replaces the previous one, big drops everywhere except for a few exceptions, move along.....
