Godzilla vs. Kong takes next step at global box office

Godzilla vs. Kong has reached a new milestone at the global box office! Godzilla vs. Kong was one of the biggest theatrical releases during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and only made kaiju bigger when it started hitting international territories. With the final film in the MonsterVerse Quadrilogy to date finally hitting theaters in Japan following a series of pandemic delays, the film still finds all kinds of new box office hits in Japan. In fact, in its opening weekend, it took the top spot even with all the competition.

With Godzilla vs. Kong taking first place for its opening weekend in Japan, this is far from the only new success the film has had since its first theatrical release, as TOHO announced that the film has now passed the bar 50 billion yen with its Japanese opening. This means that the film has now earned over US $ 452 million worldwide since its initial release in Japan on July 2. The official TOHO Tweet announcing the milestone is below:

Godzilla vs. Kong still enjoys all manner of success as it continues its run across the world, and fans in North America can still watch the film for themselves at home. Godzilla vs. Kong is now available on digital, DVD and Blu-ray. Legendary officially describes Godzilla vs. Kong as such, “Legends collide Godzilla vs. Kong as these mythical adversaries meet in a spectacular battle for the ages, with the fate of the world at stake.

Kong and his protectors embark on a perilous journey to find his true home, and with them is Jia, an orphaned girl with whom he has formed a unique and powerful bond. But they unexpectedly find themselves in the path of an enraged Godzilla, cutting a swath of destruction across the world. The epic clash between the two titans, brought about by invisible forces, is just the beginning of the mystery that lurks deep in the heart of the Earth. “
