checked again, 400m is dead

 

Zilla turns to be a money loser

[CoolK]

i always wondered if things would have been different if WB/Legendary skipped straight to GvK after KSI..

KSI has better audience reception compared to G14

@Corpse weekend review

 

Godzilla: King of the Monsters roared some life back into the box-office, selling a very impressive 479,000 admissions over the weekend frame across 431 screens. It sold 641,773 admissions since opening on Friday. This debut is a significant 33% higher than its predecessor, and it's even 8% higher than 2016's Shin Godzilla.

I've read a lot of good things about how the film is much more of a "Godzilla" film than Hollywood's previous attempts, from Ifukube's original themes being used in the film to the kaiju designs being truer to their original characters. And Japanese audience scores seem to reflect this news as well, since it's averaging scores of 4/5 (80%) across most domestic movie sites. I still think they'll be some degree of frontloading, but the good reception could very well offset some of the initial demand. I expect it'll finish a bit above the ¥4 billion ($35-40 million) milestone, but let's see if it can go a bit higher.

Quote

Legendary Entertainment’s “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” didn’t stomp through North American movie theaters, instead treading to just $49 million in its opening weekend — roughly half that of its 2014 predecessor.

But Legendary, founded by Thomas Tull and owned by the Chinese conglomerate Wanda Group since 2016, isn’t sweating the early returns for the film, which had a kaiju-size budget of $170 million, according to BoxOfficeMojo. The studio is breathing easy because its focus is very much overseas, where the film grossed a solid $130 million — including $70 million in China alone.

“Over the past few years, they have been focusing on blockbuster style films that often see the majority of their box office coming from the international marketplace,” Paul Dergarabedian, senior analyst at ComScore, said. “If you look at the money the films have made — even just the MonsterVerse — it’s a huge amount of money… There’s a huge international interest in these films.”

It's a coproduction, WB paying for 25% of it. It will be a disappointing finish but Godzilla Vs Kong will more than make up for it I imagine, I hope.

Godzilla Vs Kong Might Change The BOX OFFICE Dimension Of Monsterverse ...  

[keysersoze123]

Despite the underperformance kong vs Zilla could do way better. They just have to make it a fun flick with lots of awesome fight scenes.

the article is about Legendary, not WB.

 

PS if the film loses  money, WB will lose money too, no matter what their share is.

I rarely have to update the June Opening Weekend List (June is one of the weakest months for the box-office in Japan) but this year's has a number of films that could join Godzilla, so I expect to be updating it one or two more times this year. Interestingly though, despite June being a weak month, it's home to the film with the biggest opening weekend of all-time -- The Matrix Reloaded.

Just a remark. 

[IlPadrino]

Only in Japan was a success.

[Brinatico]

For the experts who kill Zilla before being shot. 

China is doing well (possible a 2x of 70M OW).

Japan doing very good.

I think will pass $450M ww
