So it seems that the massive monster mash Godzilla vs. Kong has just made some massive monster cash over the weekend, smashing the global box-office to smithereens, making almost $50 million at the domestic box-office, and over $285 million worldwide! Which is doubly impressive, as the pandemic still has limited screens available, as well as the fact people can watch it at home on HBO Max at any time!
Here's the full breakdown from Box Office Mojo:
The blockbuster’s $48.5 million domestic haul in its first five days was especially impressive considering that the title is also available to HBO Max subscribers for no additional charge. And while Warner Bros. has not released streaming numbers for the title yet, it did say that Godzilla vs. Kong had a “larger viewing audience than any other film or show on HBO Max since launch.”
Overseas, Godzilla vs. Kong continued to rampage at the box office, too. After raking in $121.8 million abroad last weekend, it added another $115.1 million this week, bringing its two-week international total to $236.9 million and its cumulative global haul to $285.4 million so far.
And here's the official synopsis (in case you somehow needed to know what Godzilla vs. Kong was about):
The epic next chapter in the cinematic Monsterverse pits two of the greatest icons in motion picture history against one another – the fearsome Godzilla and the mighty Kong – with humanity caught in the balance.
Meanwhile, Godzilla vs. Kong – starring Giant Lizard and Big Monke – is currently bashing into select theaters and HBO Max right now!
