Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire It does atrocity at the box office over the Easter weekend.

After the Warner Bros. Legendary, which grossed $37 million on Friday, is now on track to open to $75 million at the North American box office, beating forecasts of $45 million to $55 million. If these predictions hold true, this will be the second-biggest opening out of the five titles in the MonsterVerse library, as well as good news for the box office, as it delivers the biggest debut of the year so far.

Globally, it has a chance to cross the $200 million mark upon release (it’s even doing well in China, where Legendary East is handling the film). As of Friday, its early foreign balance stood at $47.1 million. Opening day revenue in China was $13.7 million, including previews. These days, not many Hollywood movies reach that level over the course of a weekend.

The film was not highly appreciated by many critics, but audiences disagreed, earning an A-CinemaScore and 4.5 stars on PostTrack. She also plays to ethnically diverse audiences. Males made up 67 of Friday’s audience, while 62% of those who bought tickets were 35 or younger.

Adam Wingard returns to direct The Tent Pole, which stars Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry and Dan Stevens. This time, the two giant monsters decide to put aside their differences and confront a mysterious force that threatens to destroy their planet.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire There’s not much competition to speak of, and you’ll easily find more Easter eggs than other films, including the new one Ghostbusters The film opened last weekend.

But Godzilla and Kong aren’t the only reasons WB and Legendary have cause for celebration. Denis Villeneuve Sand Dunes: Part Two It crossed the $600 million mark at the worldwide box office on Friday, compared to its $406 million global debut. Sand dunes.

The numbers will be updated on Sunday
