Test screenings have not been terrible. I don't know where you're getting this from. They're actually very positive according to ViewerAnon save for one new monster that had poor reception and was replaced.

The test screenings this is bullshit as well, ViewerAnon said they´re doing consistently better everytime they test it. The thing that was disliked in it early on was changed.

 

Lool the week of March 29 is going to be fun.

Because they want to sell more toys.

Dude, it´s a hollywood Godzilla movie ... i can guaranteed to you nobody here is expecting rave reviews lol 

 

The previous movie have a 59 on MC, and it was very well received by audiences. People want fun action from this, and they´ll get it, it tested well, there´s no story here, you´re beefing alone.

No it was a Kaiju that was never revealed in the marketing. It was like a deer bird hybrid thing looking mfer and got replaced with a legacy character

2 weeks isn’t that big of a deal, dunno why some are acting like it is. Also remember that this was supposed to come out on March 15th before Dune got pushed back. That’s probably why they waited until now to remove Mickey 17 so they could hold onto that date for this in case Ghostbusters moved. 
 

Also this with Dune could give WB a nice one-two punch to start the year, almost back to back No.1 openings.

Weren't you just refusing to answer someone's question about why Godzilla turns pink in the movie for spoiler reasons? 🤣

 

Either way, I hope this film does well. All I can do is buy a ticket and hope WB doesn't decide to shift its release date a third (fourth?) time so I can actually try to get the day off.

Pink symbolizes love, nurture, and compassion. The same love, nurture, and compassion Godzilla feels for his boyfriend Kong.

Godzilla is a walking nuclear bomb and is also pink now - he now goes by the name Barbenheimer.

I completely disagree with the "this movie will fail now because it has 2 weeks of less marketing" notion. Anyone who could be interested in this movie by now knows this is coming out anyway and WB/Legendary will surely pull a late-marketing push like they did with Kong: Skull Island in 2017 which greatly helped that movie. March 29 means (lets be real) that it will still make most of its money in April with Dune 2 and Ghostbusters not beeing the biggest of competitions.

 

Also i can back up @Alex SciChannel, test screenings have not been negative as far as im aware. One monster that got replaced very early on had received negative backlash, but like Alex said, instead of that one there will be a kaiju now that no one will complain about.

You guys saying 'some' like it's not incredibly obvious who you mean. I think it's a bad move, we'll see in March.

[WorkingonaName]

No longer seeing now this that's its coming out a fortnight earlier. Disgusting.

Solo had a 3 month marketing cycle that hurt it immensely. GxK is also going to end up with a 3 month marketing cycle (December to March is 3 months).

Solo was hurt by being a shit movie no one wanted. 3 months or 6 months, it would've made the exact same money

I do think this is going to have some extra push from Minus One, minimal but maybe it will save it from being a total disaster.

With that being said, I think this should be the last "Marvel" godzilla movie, we need another approach, a different concept.

Maybe godzilla vs alien invasion without being too goofy like the recent two movies.

 

But yes, I expect this to disappoint in terms of quality and BO. At best I can see this  having a "Ok" reception and making 500M ww 

[Belakor]

Also, the CGI is still looking awful, the last Japanese trailer is awful, hard to believe Minus One had like 10% of the budget this has and godzilla looks 10 times better there.

[lorddemaxus]

 100 years of marketing. Highest grossing movie of all time???

[WorkingonaName]

Richard Linklater gonna take Jimmy Cs crown.

Feel like late March is odd move. The post Easter spot seemed better for both the movie and theaters. It now has to share attention with Dune 2, KFP4 and Ghostbusters (though granted think low to mid 100s is where KFP/GB/GxK are heading), so odd move. It's like no one learned last March.
