With current revenue, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is very likely to set a new record for MonsterVerse and be the most profitable Godzilla movie.
Released about a month ago, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is considered "a glass of refreshment" in a time when blockbuster movies continuously disappoint audiences. With a simple plot, The New Empire still pleases the majority of audiences thanks to its eye-catching images and landslide battles of giant Titans. The work had an extremely impressive opening and after a month of release, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is facing the hope of becoming the highest-grossing film in the entire MonsterVerse.
According to information from Deadline, in the three days of last weekend, the blockbuster The New Empire earned more than 7 million USD in the North American market, only down 27% compared to last week (nearly 10 million USD). This is a very notable achievement for blockbuster movies, usually the reduction is around 40 to 60%, especially for Monstervers because Legendary's MonsterVerse works are often not worth re-watching. Few movies still have a stable revenue level like Godzilla x Kong after a month of release.
Another reason why this film has maintained its form for so long is because there is no competition. The movie strong enough to overwhelm Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire this year is Deadpool 3, which was not released until the end of July. That's why Godzilla x Kong has been dominating the box office for a long time. .
Currently, the latest project in MonsterVerse has grossed 488 million USD worldwide, expected to be 510 to 520 million USD after the last three weekends. The film was also just released in Japan (where the Godzilla - Gojira brand was born), the estimated revenue in Japan is about 20 to 30 million USD.
There's still about a month left before The New Empire withdraws from theaters worldwide. With current sales, the movie is sure to become the MonsterVerse's biggest-grossing blockbuster. The success of Godzilla x Kong is also a solid foundation for Legendary to further develop the story of the giant Titans, especially when the revenue of MonsterVerse movies continues to increase year by year.
