Weekend Report: 'Godzilla' is Box Office King

Godzilla reigned supreme at the box office this weekend, scoring one of the biggest debuts of the year so far.

Produced by Legendary Pictures and released by Warner Bros., the monster movie reboot earned an impressive $93.2 million at the domestic box office this weekend. It also opened in most overseas markets, which added up to over $103 million.

Godzilla's domestic debut ranks second in 2014: it wound up in between Captain America: The Winter Soldier ($95 million) and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 ($91.6 million). It also opened significantly higher than last Summer's World War Z ($66.4 million), and more-than-doubled Pacific Rim's $37.3 million.

It's also worth noting that Godzilla earned more in its first three days than Star Trek Into Darkness earned in its first four ($83.7 million) on the same weekend last year. It was also above 2011's Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides ($90.2 million).

Godzilla's success this weekend can be attributed to some smart choices made by the Warner Bros. marketing department. Coming off last Summer's disappointing Pacific Rim, Warner Bros. opted to pitch Godzilla first-and-foremost as a disaster movie (instead of a monster movie). Advertisements hid the title character—and avoided even mentioning the other monsters—and instead put an emphasis on the human impact of large-scale destruction. Much of this was hung on Bryan Cranston's character, who was positioned as the movie's focal point; while that was very misleading, it was also highly effective.

Many moviegoers opted for premium-priced screenings of Godzilla. 3D showings accounted for 51 percent of revenue. Included in there is $14.1 million from IMAX, which is the biggest haul on those large-format screens so far this year.

The audience for Godzilla was 58 percent male, and 60 percent were 25 years of age or older. They awarded the movie a "B+" CinemaScore, which for this genre indicates mixed word-of-mouth. With tough competition from X-Men: Days of Future Past, it's going to take a big hit next weekend: still, it almost certainly has enough juice to end up over $230 million.

Around-the-World Roundup

Godzilla earned an estimated $103 million from 64 overseas markets this weekend. Warner Bros. reports that 51 percent of sales were from 3D showings.

The movie's biggest markets were the U.K. ($10.4 million) and Russia ($9.1 million), and it had the top opening of the year in Australia ($6.1 million). Other major territories included Mexico ($8.9 million), France ($6.5 million), Korea ($4.5 million), Brazil ($4.2 million), Italy ($3.6 million) and Spain ($1.6 million).

Godzilla opens in China in June, and then Japan in July. If it lives up to its potential in those two markets, it should wind up with over $400 million.
