TheMonsterVersehas established itself as a true phenomenon in fiction and fantasy. The franchise has become extremely well-known and has had a massive impact on popular culture, ever since the release ofGodzillain 2014. The second part ofGodzilla vs Kong, andGodzilla x Kong: The New Empireis just the most recent addition and has fans extremely hyped for its release.
Unfortunately, a recent prediction about the film’s performance has worried more than a few. It would seem that the Adam Wingard-directed movie could have been quite a disappointing box-office opening. So much so, that its numbers could be lower than Ezra Miller’sThe Flash.

Godzilla x Kong: The New EmpireGets Unfortunate Predictions
Despite theMonterVersehaving some dedicated fans, a recent prediction about the upcomingGodzilla x Kong: The New Empiredoes not paint it positively. Recently,Long Range Box Officemade a prediction about the film’s success and how it will perform in its opening weekend and the numbers are concerningly low. They put forth a range of $41-$50 million in domestic revenue for the first three days of its release.
These predictions are further reinforced by the numbers of the previous film,Godzilla vs. Kong,the first part of the film, earned significantly less than the upcoming film. Within the first five days of its release, the film has only earned $48.5 million domestically. It is safe to say that the predispositions made about the film are not good, however, this might not be the end of its embarrassment.

The FlashPerformed Better
Ezra Miller’sThe Flashhas gone down in history as one of the most disappointing films of all time. Having been hyped up for years, and having a lot of hype surrounding it, it completely embarrassed itself during its time at the box office. It had very poor CGI, unnecessary cameos, and poor story progression. On top of this, despite all its efforts, it could not catch the fans’ attention.
Even though the film set multiple records for being the worst-performing superhero film of all time, it would seem that it managed to make more than the predictions made ofGodzilla x Kong: The New Empire.According toBox Office Mojo, the film earned over $55 million in its domestic opening weekend, which is five million above theMonsterVersefilm’s highest ballpark.

Rating and money don’t matter. I already know it’s gonna be the most amazing piece of the monsterverse to date. I don’t think anything could be nearly as bad as that dumpster fire last year they called Meg 2
