Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire continues its reign at the box office, with impressive earnings of $95 million domestically and $210 million worldwide since its debut. In its second weekend, the monster tentpole is expected to bring in $32 million to $36 million, maintaining its lead over new releases.
Competing against Godzilla x Kong are two newcomers: Monkey Man and The First Omen. Monkey Man, originally intended for Netflix, was acquired by Universal Pictures for a theatrical release. The film, directed by Dev Patel in his feature debut, tackles the Hindu caste system and has received positive reviews for its intense action sequences.
The First Omen, the sixth installment in the supernatural franchise, is the first new entry in 18 years. With a budget of around $30 million, the film follows an American woman in Rome who uncovers a dark conspiracy related to the birth of the Antichrist.
Holdovers like Kung Fu Panda 4, Dune: Part Two, and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire round out the box office charts, providing audiences with a variety of entertainment options.
As audiences continue to flock to theaters, Godzilla x Kong remains a formidable force in the cinematic landscape, showcasing the enduring appeal of larger-than-life monster battles and captivating storytelling.
