You need to see it. It is required viewing for you!

No, the 1933 original is the required viewing.

Nostalgia brand + Universal's current hot streak + Marketing = 100M OW. Anyone?

[DAJK]

Godzilla numbers...?

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Expecting about 250 mil for this, should be big overseas.

[Intensive]

Is this like a sequel to KK? I don't know if this will do too well

Nostalgia ?

 

Didn't work too crazy well for the first one

More like reboot

I remember the melt downs on BOM when King Kong underwhelmed opening weekend. Ha.

[DAJK]

What were people predicting for King Kong?

[Truckasaurus]

What were people predicting for King Kong?

 

Taken from BOM's weekend report:

Since bowing Wednesday, the three-hour thrill ride has amassed $66.2 million in five days, below distributor Universal Pictures' publicly-stated benchmark, the $75 million of Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, and much lower than media and industry hype that had hoped for over $100 million.

[Krissykins]

$80-100m if I remember rightly.

Then it just managed to pass $50m.

[DAJK]

$80-100m if I remember rightly.

Then it just managed to pass $50m.

Was it basically the Interstellar of that year? Prediction were sky high because of Jackson (Nolan)...

[ddddeeee]

Bit of a dry spell of news on this...

[BourneFan #1]

I thought this film would get bigger buzz after it was announced at SDCC but I guess the 2005 film must be strongly disliked.

[BourneFan #1]

Could a King Kong vs Godzilla film be set up partially in this?

[kaijukurt]

Could a King Kong vs Godzilla film be set up partially in this?

Don't think so. Toho (the company that owns Godzilla) hasn't been very keen on intercompany crossovers lately.

Just dont make this 3 hours again. I never get the appeal of that. I watched KK for the first time in my neighbors living room and I felt like I was there so long I thought I had moved in.

Should be around 2 hours.

It's too long but Jackson was trying to make a true epic and I applaud that but the movie could have been trimmed another 15/20 minutes maybe
