Box Office: ‘Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire’ Roars With $10 Million in Thursday Previews
'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire' earned an impressive $10 Million in Thursday previews despite receiving lackluster reviews from critics
If those projections hold, “New Empire” has a good chance of being a hit for the companies, all but ensuring we haven’t seen the last of Godzilla, Kong, Mothra and the rest of this merry band of frequently-exploited IP. Adam Wingard, who oversaw 2021’s “Godzilla vs. Kong,” returned to direct “The New Empire.” His previous installment opened to a much-lower $31 million, but it also debuted simultaneously on HBO Max and during COVID. “The New Empire” features Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry and Dan Stevens and finds Kong and Godzilla (last seeing duking it out) teaming up to prevent a powerful, climate-threatening force from destroying Earth.
