'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire' continues to dominate the Indian box office, crossing Rs 50 crore mark. The film not only surpassed the collections of the new Bollywood releases but also beat out the collections of Hollywood releases of 2024. Directed by Adam Wingard, the film stars Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry and Dan Stevens.
The Godzilla-King Kong combo stomped on expectations as "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" roared to an $80 million opening on 3,861 North American screens.
'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire' exceeded expectations with an $80 million opening, the second biggest opening of the studios' broader MonsterVerse franchise. 'Godzilla' brought in $93.2 million in 2014. It was the biggest earner in the nearly 70-year cinematic history of the creature that originated and spent most of its screen life in Japan.
The monster movie was projected to collect $50 million to $55 million at the beginning. But the film that depicts two beasts team up to save the planet, trounced all projections. The premium large formats and audience enthusiasm helped Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire help perform better than expected.
