Yeah, I think Godzilla vs Kong will do 800M+ WW, might be able to get to 1B depending on competition in 2020.

Godzilla vs Kong is unique and should do great. But how good do you think are the prospects of Godzilla 2 and Kong 2 (assuming they are planning this)?

Godzilla 2 is 2019, I think that will do 550M again. I doubt if a Kong 2 happens though, post Godzilla vs Kong what is left to see. A Kong 2 will most likely be a movie reboot like 5-6 years down the line.

Godzilla 2 is coming, it is called Godzilla: King of the Monsters.

 

I haven't seen Kong but if it is in the past, does it mean not one of the actors will come back for a sequel or Godzilla v Kong? That seems stupid.

[drdungbeetle]

Godzilla 2 is a done deal.

Kong has no real rogues gallery and future Kong movies would likely be Monsterverse teamups aka Destroy All Monsters.

Nobody cares about the human actors in these things anyway, they will not be missed.

Good number for BatB. It'll be at around $407M domestic going into the weekend and should come out of it at just over $430M.

 

I hope it shows stellar holds next week Monday to Thursday because after that it will be all about F8.

 

The next two weeks should have good holds.  The week before and after Easter usually are good for holdovers.

I don't understand why they are still adding the la la land theater count, is that any extra demand??

Different demographics? Some overlap but not substantial.

Bigger issue is theater count and screen count. BATB will be one of many movies that will see a big drop in screen count due to Furious 8.

I fear for Skull Island that weekend. Both for demographics and screen count.

That's why 170 seems out of reach, even though it's cume could be around 156 after a ~5.5 weekend.

Normally I would think it could add 12-13 more for 168-169 but F8 will limit it closer to 165.
