Warner Bros.’ “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” grossed $49 million this weekend, a little lower than initial projections which pegged the film to open between $55-65 million.
But that means “Godzilla” actually took first place this weekend, with Disney’s “Aladdin” coming in as a close second with $42.3 million. It opened last weekend to $91.5 million ($116.8 million over the four-day Memorial Day Weekend) and was expected to have another weekend in the low $40 million range. This weekend’s total brings the film’s cume to $185 million domestically and $446 million globally.
The 2014 “Godzilla” grossed $93.1 million in its opening weekend, and “Kong: Skull Island” ended up with a $61 million opening in March 2017.
