The film which was off to an impressive start at the box office, sealed its spot as the No. 1 film in the country this week, earning an estimated Rs 39 crore collection, according to early box office estimates on sacnilk.com.
The film began its box office run with an estimated collection of Rs 13.25 crore on Friday. It saw a slight dip in numbers on Saturday, earning around Rs 12.5 crore. The Easter holiday saw the film’s collection rise to an estimated Rs 13.25 crore, thus pushing its overall total collection to an estimated Rs 39 crore.’Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire’ had an overall 35.18% English occupancy, which was reflected in the ticket sales of Rs 5.75 crore nett daily. The film also drew in masses from Hindi sectors, keeping its collections over the Rs 3 crore mark over its debut weekend. The film was also released in Telugu and Tamil dubbed versions, with the latter performing better.
With these numbers, the film comfortably beat out the new Bollywood release ‘Crew’, featuring an all-female cast of Kareena Kapoor Khan, Tabu and Kriti Sanon. While the Hollywood release touched the Rs 39 crore mark, the Hindi film only managed to earn an estimated Rs 29 crore in its opening weekend.
‘Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire’ was also the highest-grossing film at the US box office, scoring an estimated collection of $80 million. The newer film had the second biggest opening of the studios’ broader MonsterVerse franchise. ‘Godzilla’ brought in $93.2 million in 2014. 2021’s ‘Godzilla vs. Kong’, had a much smaller opening weekend of $48.5 million.
The new film in the Monsterverse saga has already beaten the first weekend collections of ‘Godzilla vs Kong’ which earned an estimated Rs 28 crore. However, it must be noted that the film managed to earn these numbers despite facing the Covid-19 hurdle.
Directed by Adam Wingard, ‘Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire’ stars Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, Kaylee Hottle, Alex Ferns, and Fala Chen in key roles.
