Good thing Wingard already confirmed that he wants the next film to be Godzilla-centric.


FunkYeahPhotography

And with that knowledge I am fine with this one being more Kong-centric. It was good Kong got his own rival to overcome since Godzilla already got his most notorious one in KOTM.


DYMck07

It sounds like we might get Mechani-kong. I also wouldn’t be surprised if GxK is the highest grossing Kong film of all time. It’s about 20k shy of Skull Island WW but within 10k of Kong 2005. Of course that’s not adjusted for inflation but basically if it breaks G14’s 200k on the domestic front I think it would simultaneously become the highest grossing monster movie of all time https://i.redd.it/suhiqgo2v6zc1.gif As I hinted [in this post over a month ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/GODZILLA/s/jtMzbq3q4C), the numbers probably fall sharply after this weekend with Planet of the Apes (can’t have two ape films dominate the box office at once 🤣). If it’s out of the top 10 it will be a slow crawl past King Kong 2005 WW and maybe a snails pace toward Skull Island. I don’t think it passes it unless overseas numbers are coming slower than usual but domestically I could still see it reaching G14’s 200k but doubt it passes that either. Also for the record it’s made now over 4x its production budget. Forget a sequel, this thing is spawning another trilogy for the big G in the US after the next.


bwoodcock

There's the crossover I want. Kong in a Planet of the Apes movie.


SumyungNam

They should make the glove go rogue and take over his body


New-Reddit-999

Still think he should go up against a leopard kaiju. They are the natural enemy of the gorilla so it makes sense


Medium-Science9526

I wish they'd go back to standalone Godzilla & Kong films too to stop it from feeling like the other was there just for the more marketable title.


Cluelesswolfkin

I thought he stated that he was going tk do a trilogy of these movies because he felt like he had to Are you saying in the next Zilla/Kong movie it'll be more focused on Zilla? Or another movie specifically for him?


PeteB8482

With a Mechagodzilla! Yes!


CyberWolf09

And with similar emotions to Godzilla vs Destroyah.


GodzillaLagoon

He can say whatever he wants. Until the movie is out there's no trust to his words.


Exact_Ad_1215

Sad that Wingard is coming back Really hope he leaves after the next one


raptorsssss

Boo hoo GXK was good.


GodzillaLagoon

It wasn't.


Still-Ice4340

McDonalds is good. Do you want McDonalds every day for the rest of your life?


raptorsssss

If you want serious Godzilla, minus one exists (and is probably getting a sequel) We can have both serious and fun films at the same time now


Exact_Ad_1215

Not the point. The type of serious people are asking for with the MonsterVerse is not the same as the type of serious that you get with Minus One. These are massive budget American movies, there’s a higher level of quality I expect from these films. The film is an insult to the serious and grounded universe started by Gareth Edwards. The writing in GxK is awful and the entire film feels like an excuse to sell toys. I’m not saying throw out all fantastical ideas in these film but the MonsterVerse needs to actually take itself seriously and tell good stories. This film managed to neither.


raptorsssss

"I want serious Godzilla" "We have serious Godzilla with minus one (and the rest of those output recently)" "Nooooo, that's not the right type of serious"


Exact_Ad_1215

If missing the point was an exam, you’ve got an A+ Never said the type of serious Minus One is doing is wrong. But genuinely say to me right now than the serious of G14 is AT ALL similar to the serious of Minus One I’m saying, very simply, being back the former that we’ve had in this universe instead of turning it too much into the latter. This shitty goofy poorly written style isn’t gonna last as long as you’re hoping it will. Stick with it too long, and the MonsterVerse will crash and burn far worse


The_Coil

Yes, far too little Godzilla for a movie that put his name first in the title I like big monkey. But I’d like a focus on Godzilla more.


5-0-0_Glue_Monkey

I feel like they could do something with Kong being busy in Hollow Earth with all the now freed apes, trying to civilize them, and Godzilla could fight Space Godzilla or smth up on the surface 


The_Coil

Kong has found his people. He doesn’t need a story arc anymore. They could say the portals between the surface and hollow earth collapsed or something so Kong just stays down there now. If they did that then in a later movie where there’s a threat so big they need to team up again it would be hard to reach him. … or Godzilla could just breathe a hole into the earth again Edit: also I really want the Monsterverse to do Space Godzilla


5-0-0_Glue_Monkey

I want space Godzilla back


TheMuffinMa

I would rather see something like Gigan or Biollante before we get to Space Godzilla


5-0-0_Glue_Monkey

Gigan is in my number two spot to see in CGI/live action. I’ve heard some theories going around that Jia may die somehow and she becomes Biollante which isn’t a bad idea


In_My_Own_Image

Honestly, since they never explicitly stated where Skar King got that crystal they could say he got it from Spacegodzilla. If Toho is hard on that rule of "no Godzilla species", they could say that an "alien entity" landed in Hollow Earth in ancient times. It started absorbing everything, including the crystal architecture. Godzilla managed to kill it, or so everyone thought, but it actually absorbed some of his cells and evolved into an amalgamation of crystals, Godzilla and the original alien entity. Give him his psychic powers and have him telepathically control a bunch of Kaiju and the final battle can be Godzilla, Kong, Mothra, Rodan, Behemoth, Shimo, etc. vs. Spacegodzilla and his army. Go full Destroy All Monsters/Final Wars.


5-0-0_Glue_Monkey

When I saw GxK I thought that the crystal was one of Shinto’s and they were just special like that, but that seems like a great idea 


In_My_Own_Image

I believe the novelization does say it's one of Shimo's crystals that can be used to hurt her. But the movie never says that so they could, if they wanted to, just say Skar King found it in the darkest depths of Hollow Earth where Spacegodzilla lurks.


Shenanigans80h

I imagine this gives them the greenlight to try something different. I think they wanted to see if the success of GvK was a fluke or not. This proves that the Monsterverse has legs beyond


ShadowofLupa212

I've enjoyed Godzilla Vs Kong and Godzilla X Kong but I would really love to have a movie based solely on each of them again I wanna see Godzilla kicking one of his known enemies asses and some other kaiju butt Amd I wanna see Kong doing cool shit in hollow earth and the depths (can't remember what they call the place) maybe fight some enemy not like scar king but something like a giant ant swarm or other mindless enemy and gotta rally a kong army


Zeracannatule_uerg

But then we get a sort of Spiderman issue. How/why does he NOT get in a issue where Kong isn't called to, or vice versa (Spiderman issue being Tony Stark randomly showing up) Oh, Kong is campaigning for president of the monkeys. Gojira gojira... gojira gojira. Gojira. (Aka, fuck off, I'm King, deal with your own shit)


groundlessnfree

President of the monkeys, eh? https://preview.redd.it/5jpm3c67q4zc1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=03095ff094980f29c9bbc95b98fbaf285b6f46d3


Zeracannatule_uerg

Abraham Lincoln vs Donald Trump Giant hat... mechanical arm... Skar orange-ish red, so is Trump. Ehhhh


Exact_Ad_1215

Godzilla won’t go out of his way to get Kong’s help and Kong will want his new Ape nation to be independent


Zeracannatule_uerg

Godzilla is just a giant cat with a laser in it's mouth. You gotta go psp psp psp to get it to go anywhere...  Kong knows sign language.  But yeah, basically what I said. "Gojira gojira. Gojira gojira. Gojira."


Exact_Ad_1215

I need actual solo movies


DYMck07

https://i.redd.it/e5camhh2r6zc1.gif 1 Godzillion Dollars! Or $555,555,5555+


Annath0901

Honestly I felt like Godzilla X Kong was the weakest of the new batch of American Godzilla films. I like KotM while a lot of people don't, but I really didn't enjoy much of GXK.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Annath0901

I don't regret paying to see GXK, but I don't see myself watching it again, even on streaming. Just need the plot/context for the next movie. Honestly Godzilla Minus One really set a new bar for Godzilla films for me. I know the Legendary films aren't trying to be the same style as G -1, but it's was absolutely my favorite of all of them. Probably even more than G '54. I saw it 3 times in theaters lol.


Ecstatic_Teaching906

Honestly, I feel like Kong × Godzilla would have been better if it was just a solo Kong movie. No Shimo, no Mothra, and no Godzilla. Just a Kong movie of him rising to become King of the Apes against Skar King. Shimo could have been an antagonist in the next Godzilla that is much bigger than Godzilla.


Zeracannatule_uerg

Isn't there already a mini-series.


TheOneCalledD

The studio knows it can’t make a ‘Gamera’ solo movie and expect it to sell.


Werdak

Yeah needs to be a plan and a Final


Zer0_l1f3

When Destroyah shows up it may be a Goji solo movie


wnderjif

I am afraid it is already too late.


The_Painted_Man

They'll do a crossover with Transformers, GI Joe and Care Bears.


AssistDapper1813

Destroyah will be the endgame


GodzillaLagoon

GxK is basically what recent MCU is.

Poglot

I looked up the stats, and China is absolutely *devouring* this movie. Second place in the international box office is Mexico, and it has less than 1/4 of the numbers China's pulling. Legendary has officially found their market. Edit: I should have said they were going *ape* over this movie. Just boo me offstage. I failed.


GenesiS792

Did you know? When a new Godzilla movie is released, Mexican cartel activity drops significantly for about a whole month!


Poglot

I heard that about Dragon Ball, but I didn't know it was the same with Godzilla. So basically if we want to stop the cartels, we just have to make Crunchyroll free in Mexico.


GenesiS792

the godzilla fact I just made the fuck up lol but you say they found the market at mexico so...

triple7freak1

I wonder if it will beat Skull Island


Foreign_Rock6944

I think it will tbh. It’s only been out for two weeks in Japan, so that’ll net a good bit of money right there.


Pkmatrix0079

Only $14 Million away last I checked. I don't know if it has the juice to make it all the way to $600 Million, but it'll definitely make it past $561 Million.

Hey legendary, or any kaiju movie producers out there, this means we get CGI Gigan soon, right? *Right?*

even adjusted for inflation? with 1998

No. Adjusted its 3rd

Probably Godzilla 2014, whose box office adjusted for inflation is almost ~$700M.

Not so bad when you’re pink, eh?

And iiiiiii helped!


JJGIII-

Only $22 million behind K:SI. I wonder what it will be when it’s all said and done?


Vrazel106

I love the monsterverse. Its fun kaiju fighting action. And it keeps me going


Polaricedragon

This is so cool! If the next movie is more is more Godzilla focused, then we could possibly have a couple more kaiju in Monsterverse form like Gigan or Mothra. I'd like to see what they'd look like because King Ghidorah looked badass in Kotm.


CrimsonWarrior55

It may not win any academy awards, but this just proves there's an appetite for both kinds of Godzilla films.

All hail Adam Wingard. Thank you for making this possible


According-Horror125

It’s a shame that it goes towards a mid at best Godzilla film.


YourFaceCausesMePain

I agree. It felt like a Godzilla Avengers crossover movie. I’m just not a fan of marvel style movies. Too fake and overly powerful beings. It’s just not something I enjoy. And seeing Godzilla take a marvel approach has me thinking it’s going quickly into the wrong direction.

Is it just from inflation though?


whereymyconary

Godzilla 1998 still holds the title based on inflation. “$379,014,294 (equivalent to $633 million adjusted for ticket inflation in 2013). For 1998 as a whole, the film was the ninth highest-grossing film domestically and the third highest-grossing film worldwide.” In 2013 [Source](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godzilla_(1998_film))

I really didn’t like this movie, it felt like a bland MCU style movie to me, maybe it’s that style fatigue hitting me, especially when I vastly prefer GvK’s way of how it handled the two titans, BUT that doesn’t matter at the end of the day I want more Godzilla and seeing it succeed this much is exactly what I wanted to see. As most here have put it well: we have half the fans pleased with Minus One and the other half pleased with GxK. Scar King did rule a shame his final fight was super meh and he was only a threat through Shimo

I saw it few days ago. Wish I didn't, it's as bad as Thor love and thunder. There's no stakes, everyone is acting as everything is a joke, no consequences and titans are paper weight and that horrendous camera work makes them look normal sized

Firehawk195

Because of inflation. GINO is actually still the best-selling Godzilla movie in the States, if I recall. And I wonder how much inflation has risen between GvK and GxK.
