Totally loved everything you mentioned that you and I can agree on!
1. People that enjoyed a plotless, but giant slam doink monster action film like GvK, wouldn’t mind seeing another film like this.
2.Critics arent gonna matter huh? Because general audiences going to a monster film that has the things above will absolutely blow their minds away!
3.Minus One well told a very good godzilla film but GxK for real was never expected to be good as Minus One for reasons that they are two different type of films! Oscar buzz for Minus One does lead very well buzz for this GxK for sure! But all in all it be super retarded if anyone compares it to Minus One which would be too ridiculous to say the least!
My opening weekend prediction will be $59 to be on the safe side!
Btw emailed you a a GOATY photoshop of you and wanna b.o senior intern christopher being the new empire of the b.o boys hope you liked;)
I'm gonna be particularly bullish on this one. I'd say it hits $60M and could possibly even go a bit higher than that. Though I get the $50M projections, this one has a lot of things going for it that could propel it to a very good opening. Personally, the main one is simply due to the fact that it's in a very similar situation to Dune: Part Two. More than just being sequels to a predecessor that was relased in theaters and on streaming the same day, it's the kind of spectactle they offer.
Though for completely different reasons, the Dune movies and even the Monsterverse films (particularly Godzilla vs. Kong), offered the kind of cinema spectacle that you can't really find elsewhere. For audiences, seeing giant monsters beating the crap out of each other in a theater is very appealing and from the trailers of Godzilla x Kong, they're offering the kind of spectacle that is made for theaters (especially IMAX). I'm noticing a very strong turnout in pre-sales in my area for IMAX theaters and other PLF formats. Definietly not on the same level as Dune: Part Two, but there's still a lot of demand to see this on the biggest screens possible.
That I think will contribute to a great turnout for this sequel. Not to mention that most people generally liked GvK and I'm sure there's a lot of people who saw that film on HBO Max that are now going to see this one in theaters with no Covid-19 restrictions or fears in place. Also, (according to Deadline) the budget for this one is significantly less than Godzilla vs. Kong at $135M. So, it can do around $470M worldwide and still be another solid hit for Warner Bros., Legendary, and the MonsterVerse franchise as a whole (even if it probably won't do the near $190M gross that GvK did in China).
I wasn't really bullish on this one for a while, but the signs are showing that Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire might just have a solid run in theaters. If everything goes well, it'll give another great boost to the box office and cap off a great March with four movies bringing in tons of people out to the cinema.
