“Godzilla vs Kong: The New Empire” is roaring at the box office, surpassing expectations both at home and internationally. The monster mash-up has received an impressive A CinemaScore from audiences and is on track for a $75 million domestic opening.
Internationally, the film is also making waves, with projections indicating it could rake in an additional $100 million overseas by the end of Easter Sunday, bringing its worldwide total to $175 million. In China, “Godzilla vs Kong” is particularly dominating, with $13.4 million in earnings on Friday and $18 million on Saturday, potentially reaching the $200 million milestone by the end of the weekend.
On the other hand, the much-anticipated $100 million-budgeted “Ghostbusters” sequel is facing a different fate. The film experienced a significant drop in earnings during its second weekend, bringing in only $14-15 million. There are concerns that the sequel may not reach the $100 million mark domestically and is expected to fall short of the earnings of “Ghostbusters II” from 1989, which brought in $112 million.
As “Godzilla vs Kong” continues to reign supreme at the box office, it is clear that audiences are eager to witness the epic battle between these two cinematic giants. The success of the film serves as a reminder of the enduring popularity of classic monster movies and the power they hold over global audiences.
