After three days of release, 'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire' stands as the third-highest-grossing movie of the year, raking in an impressive $194 million globally in its opening weekend. This monster mashup from Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment has exceeded expectations, with $114 million coming from 64 international markets and an additional $80 million from North America alone.
The film, directed by Adam Wingard and starring Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, and Dan Stevens, takes a unique approach by having Kong and Godzilla team up to combat a common enemy threatening the planet. With a production budget of $135 million, the movie will need to maintain strong ticket sales to justify its hefty price tag.
