‘Godzilla x Kong’ Dominates Box Office, Overshadowing ‘Monkey Man’ and ‘The First Omen’
With a strong second weekend showing, ‘Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire’ continues to lead, as new releases struggle to compete.

- Newcomers ‘Monkey Man’ and ‘The First Omen’ seek smaller profits, with projected openings of $13-14 million and $14-15 million, respectively.

- ‘Godzilla x Kong’ has already surpassed $200 million globally, demonstrating the enduring appeal of the MonsterVerse series.
