So this is nice to hear! It seems that the massive monster mash Godzilla vs. Kong has made massive monster cash this weekend at the domestic box-office! Last week, we reported on the film's international box-office smashing expectations (already making 121 million!), and now the recent weekend box-office in the U.S. has also greatly exceeded expectations (especially given the pandemic, and the fact it's also available to watch at home on HBO Max), making almost $10 million in the first day alone!
Of course, in normal circumstances, that might not be as impressive, but it was originally projected to make $20 million total for the five-day weekend premiere, so it seems like it will stomp on that number in the next few days. Here's hoping, as it was a fun ride that our own The Iceman gave an 8/10!
Here's the official synopsis (in case you need to know what Godzilla vs. Kong is about):
Kong and his protectors undertake a perilous journey to find his true home. Along for the ride is Jia, an orphaned girl who has a unique and powerful bond with the mighty beast. However, they soon find themselves in the path of an enraged Godzilla as he cuts a swath of destruction across the globe. The initial confrontation between the two titans — instigated by unseen forces — is only the beginning of the mystery that lies deep within the core of the planet.
Meanwhile, Godzilla vs. Kong – starring Giant Lizard and Big Monke – is stomping onto theaters and HBO Max right now!
