GODZILLA vs Kong has smashed the post-Covid box office as it’s banked a whopping $48.5 million (£35m) since it opened on Wednesday.

The epic new film, which sees the two iconic monsters clash, has been released in cinemas in the US, as well as streaming on HBO Max.

The response has offered hope to the cinema industry, which has seriously suffered since the pandemic struck over a year ago.

It is a big increase from the previous post-coronavirus opening weekend record, which was $16.6 million (£12m) for Women Woman 1984.
