Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment's Godzilla Vs.

Matthew Chernov “Godzilla vs. Kong” had a record-breaking premiere weekend with the best showing since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic threw the standard theatrical rollout into a tailspin.

Godzilla vs. Kong easily stayed No.

In its first week, Legendary and Warner Bros.' big-budget spectacle Godzilla vs. Kong has already earned more at the domestic box office than any other film opening during the pandemic era.

In the Legendary title’s first week, the monster movie has grossed $60M, making it the top grossing pic stateside during the pandemic (since mid-March 2020), and giving Warner Bros. four out of the five top grossing titles over the last year which include the studio’s Tenet ($58.5M) in second place, Universal/Dreamworks Animation’s Croods: New Age ($56.5M) in third, Warner’s Wonder Woman 1984 with $46.2M, and the studio’s Tom & Jerry with $40.3M.

The debut of Legendary and Warner Bros.’ Godzilla vs. Kong on HBO Max on March 31, the same day the big budget pic opened in theaters, became an afterthought when the monster showdown roared to a $48.1 million opening at the domestic box office, by far a pandemic best and providing a huge jolt of confidence for the theatrical business.
