Box Office: ‘Godzilla x Kong’ to Tower Over ‘Monkey Man,’ ‘First Omen’

variety.com:

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” is poised to stomp all over the box office competition… again.

After its better-than-expected debut, Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment’s monster tentpole has generated $95 million domestically and $210 worldwide to date.

Now, “Godzilla x Kong” looks to add $32 million to $36 million in its second weekend of release. Those ticket sales, down roughly 55% from its opening, will easily be enough to lead over two newcomers, director Dev Patel’s action-thriller “Monkey Man” and Disney and 20th Century’s supernatural prequel “The First Omen.” “Monkey Man” is targeting $12 million to start, while “The First Omen” is projected to pull ahead with $14 million to $15 million.

Holdovers, including “Kung Fu Panda 4,” “Dune: Part Two” and “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,” will otherwise round out box office charts. “Monkey Man” was initially destined for Netflix and not the big screen.
