[Bishop54]

The "Godzilla will be the first film to open at $90M and fail to reach $200M" nonsense can stop now...nothing to see here.

[RthDeadWov]

+91%?

Get those 200M WB  And after this get ready to push EoT into 100M.

 its da dollar house  or drive-in double feature effect..

still it is pretty unimpressive it has to be dragged over 200m after that opening

[Mulder]

I think it's a bigger failure that TASM2 had to be dragged to over 200 million.

Why? Everyone knew Spidey would have crap legs. Godzilla had everything going for it, except the film itself

Literally nobody thought this until Neighbors beat it.

TASM 2 's performance was also poor but it wasn't dragged over 200m. It reached the mark before theater expansion.

Better than dragging ass over 100m and costing more (I'm looking at you Pacrim).

Subjectivity is a bitch ain't it.

? Go look at the multipliers people were predicting for it

A lot were in the 220s and 230s. Literally nobody predicted a number as low as 201.

BO.com's estimates of total negative cost:

 

Spidey: $330,000,000

'zilla: $225,000,000

 

From where I'm sitting, TASM2 looks like the failure domestically.

I imagine it's safe to say TASM2 spent more on marketing than Godzilla too.

I'm stealing Chewy's inevitable post:

I didn't say that people predicted the correct number on the nose, I said people knew it would have a crappy multiplier. Godzilla having an even worse multiplier is fairly embarrassing

Godzilla has a slightly worse one considering they'll end up in the same range ((200-205)) and with TASM2 having a slightly lower opening. 

[Dementeleus]

The multiplier was lousy, but the total was reasonable... most predictions were around 200m (give or take 20-30 in either direction).

[BadAtGender]

Godzilla's collapse over a holiday second weekend is pretty damning, performance-wise.

[Chewy]

Yeah but this is probably the worst possible way to get to 200 

 

And I know, 200 is 200. But dat sequel...
