In a global box office that’s still licking its wounds from the strike, here’s something to scream about: Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is the highest grossing movie in the Legendary and Warner Bros Monsterverse franchise at $570M around the world.
That beats previous Monsterverse champ 2017’s Kong Skull Island which stomped to $568.6M. Broken out New Empire‘s grosses are $373.7M abroad and $196.3M domestic. Overall, New Empire is the highest grossing Monsterverse title in 35 markets including Brazil, Colombia, France, India, Indonesia, Mexico and UAE.
Props here to Warner Bros marketing, but also the global distribution team. Realize this: Sony’s Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire was originally on Easter weekend. Then the Culver City lot moved that movie up to March 22. This created a golden opportunity for Warners to step in and take over holy weekend, which has historically been a rich launchpad for the studio with Clash of the Titans, Ready Player One, and even the last Godzilla vs Kong back in 2021 (even though it was day-and-date on Max, it still delivered a $48.1M domestic opening). New Empire was originally expected to do $45M over the Easter weekend, but overindexed to $80M domestic, $194M WW.
Also, the Adam Wingard directed installment, his second after 2021’s Godzilla vs. Kong ($470.1M WW), is the second highest grossing Hollywood movie of 2024 to date after Legendary/Warner Bros.’ Dune: Part Two ($711.8M). For anyone thinking moviegoing is dead, get it right: It just hinges on intriguing product and this monster-mash, even in its silent moments, was arguably a movie many had not even seen before in this genre, even in regards to its campiness.
On the domestic side, 2014’s Godzilla is still the highest

In morose moments, and I’ll admit to having a few, I sometimes stare at a framed illustration on my work desk. Entitled “HOLLYWOOD 1988,” it is a whimsical map of the motion picture business as it existed back then. The concept and a lot of the sight gags were mine; but Nancy Ohanion was the artist who made it work for the Calendar section of the Los Angeles Times. (You can find her signature hidden just above The Cave of Studio Accounting.)
