“Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” has quickly risen to become one of the biggest successes in the Monster Verse, surpassing $500 million globally. This remarkable achievement comes despite the film being one of the most budget-friendly productions in the series, with a production cost of around $135 million USD.
The battle between Godzilla, the king of the monsters, and Kong, the ruler of Skull Island, against new foes Shimo and the Skar King has captured audiences worldwide, pushing the film’s North American earnings to approximately $176 million USD. Experts predict that by the end of its theatrical run, the film could earn between $575 and $600 million USD.
Future Prospects for the Monster Verse
The continued success of Monster Verse looks promising, especially with Apple TV+ investing in a second season of “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” along with other spin-offs. While no new theatrical sequels have been confirmed, director Adam Wingard has expressed several ideas for future films involving the iconic monsters.
With its impressive box office performance and the anticipation surrounding its new content on Apple TV+, ‘Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire’ has injected new life into the Monster Verse. The franchise shows no signs of slowing down, promising more exhilarating adventures and monumental battles in the future.
