Godzilla vs. Kong has been hitting the theatres since March 24. The movie is breaking the pandemic box office records as it had reached $60 million by Friday evening at the domestic box office. Worldwide, the film grossed more than $285.4 million. This makes the movie go beyond $200 million with the fastest since the pandemic started.

Last weekend, U.S theatres were driven by Godzilla vs. Kong and in the first five days, the movie had already accumulated a total of $48.5 million.

More than that, Hollywood Gossip found out that the picture took only three days in China to reach more than $44.2 million. By last Sunday, the movie had reached over $137.1 million in earnings in China. With that, it became the largest market for a monster mash-up film naturally. Followed by it is China is the U.S with $60 million, Mexico ($12.9 million), Australia ($10.9 million), Taiwan ($9.7 million), and Russia ($9.6 million).

The president of international distribution at Warner Bros. Studios, Andrew Cripps, mentioned in a statement, “it’s no surprise that these two iconic titans would lead the charge back to theatres around the world and even exceed expectations in such a massive way. With our incredible numbers in China leading the charge, and powerful openings in such markets as Australia, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, and Taiwan, we are looking forward to a robust theatrical run for Godzilla VS Kong across the globe.”

Adding to it, Mary Parent, the vice-chairman of global production at Legendary said, “the global reception to the theatrical release of this film is a positive sign for movie-going as people continue to look towards entertainment in a pandemic world.”
