Ladies and gentlemen, snap to it; the world’s great teams are on the rise! “Godzilla x Kong: New Empire” marched into theaters, scoring $80 million on opening weekend. This big success goes beyond expectations, and it shows that huge-size critters are still craved by fans.
This is not your common Godzilla vs. Kong brawl. “The New Empire” turns the plot on its head, bringing the two rivals together and fighting a common adversary. Collaboration, which is the main idea of this movie, along with cool visual effects and awesome fight scenes, might be a winning formula.
There were lots of doomsday predictions for the box office in 2024, but Godzilla and Kong are here to change the narrative. The New Empire” gives the year new life, leaving it only 6% below 2023’s performance. This is a considerable boost from “Dune: Part Two“, indicating people want to return to the big screen for the appropriate experience.
“The New Empire” can’t quite knock “Barbenheimer” off first place, but it is still a very good prospect for the summer season films. People are more or less excited about the upcoming blockbuster releases such as Ryan Gosling’s “The Fall Guy,” and the next chapters of “Planet of the Apes,” “Mad Max,” “Inside Out,” and “Deadpool” are among the titles that have the potential to be significant hits this summer.
One thing’s for sure: what moviegoers crave is an event, and “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” gives them more than enough of that. Grab your popcorn, find the largest screen possible, and get ready to see the rise of a new empire where Godzilla and Kong reign supreme!
