Well deserved.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Yeah, you can imagine how much more it would've made had they not released it to stream on HBO Max for free day and date. I still hope they change their mind for Dune.

I don’t think there would have been any sizable bump to the box office if this was a theaters only movie. If given the option between theaters and at home and you still chose to watch at home, you were probably not inclined to go to the theaters anyway

 

[SuperSpideyGirl]

Went to the theater and finally saw this movie. Definitely a fun ride.

 

[AverageMan]

Very respectable run given it's in a pandemic.
Hopefully this leverages favourable discussions about the future of the Monsterverse.

You are going to have to wait at least till after the Japan release. And these negotiations are not going to be easy ones.

Well, Shin Godzilla is the highest grossing Toho Godzilla film. It made 78 million worldwide, with 70 million of that coming from Japan. Before that, the previous Toho Godzilla, Final Wars (which was a big 50th anniversary film) made around 22 million. The film prior to that, Tokyo SOS, did around 12 million, which was roughly on par with the previous movies. None of these films really perform internationally.

Godzilla 2014 and Godzilla King of the Monsters made 30 million and 37 million respectively in Japan, which went to Toho.

Now, they’ve said before that the agreement between Legendary and Toho is, both can make Godzilla films, but they can’t release in the same year. Also, Toho gets a level of input in how the Kaiju are depicted in the Legendary films; they have approval of the final designs, and they give notes as to how they think the kaiju’s personalities should come across.

Just looking at the numbers there, it’s a pretty good deal for all involved. Toho basically takes in a higher profit than they normally would, with little personal cost, plus they get to continue their own creative efforts mostly unabated. This is a situation where they’d be throwing money away if they didn’t try and continue the agreement.

FINALLY! What we all really want.

FINALLY! What we all really want.

Looks like a rampage clone complete with the Gorilla named Abraham instead of George. I may give this one a watch.

 

[Gold Samurai]

And OFCOURSE Eric Roberts would be in the movie.

Wingard in talks to direct another Monsterverse movie

 

[Arachnerd]

And seemingly it seems to be a solo Kong sequel.

That would be unfortunate.

Well if he's going to continue making awful Monsterverse films, id rather it be Kong than Godzilla.

 

[Joefixit]

That would be unfortunate.

Speak for yourself, I would much rather it be Godzilla. He’s said and proven that’s his favorite. He should stay far away from Kong. I’d rather that be Vogt Roberts

 

[Joefixit]

A 'Godzilla vs. Kong' Sequel Is In the Works, and Dear Lord It Might Be 'Son of Kong'

Son of Kong? Oh no!

 

[Arachnerd]

It's funny that you only think this just because Kong didn't win the fight, otherwise you'd be all for it.

 

[DoomRulz]

That would be unfortunate.

How is that a bad thing? He's the only one who seems to be able to give us watchable & entertaining fight scenes.

Not at all! I thought Kong overall had a good showing considering he put up a good showing against Godzilla and was the only monster to do unassisted damage to mecha Godzilla. I say this because overall he changed the character to a tamed pet rather than have him be the warrior that showed up in the skull island movie. Vogt Robert’s understands the character better and nailed it compared to the George from rampage clone we saw in Kong vs Godzilla.

Considering how weak he made Godzilla look in the final battle, I would rather he not touch him again either. But if he has to direct one then I would rather it be Godzilla, because deep down I think he really would do him justice.
