Box Office: ‘Godzilla vs. Kong’ Sets Pandemic Era Record With $48.5 Million Debut Box Office: ‘Godzilla vs. Kong’ Sets Pandemic Record With $48.5 Million Debut https://t.co/5IBEv2kUEs— Variety (@Variety) April 4, 2021 Godzilla vs. Kong generated $32 million over the weekend and $48.5 million in its first five days of release. That’s easily the biggest debut since coronavirus hit. Prior to this weekend, “Wonder Woman 1984” had the biggest three-day start with $16.7 million, followed by “Tom and Jerry” with $14 million. The feat is doubly impressive considering the film is without any extra charges on HBO Max.
