This may come as a little bit of a surprise for some, specially because everyone was expecting Gareth Edwards's Godzilla opening weekend to be around $70 million, but after last night's strong midnight showings, $9.3 million, Godzilla might end up having the biggest opening of the year so far.
Godzilla fared better in Thursday midnight screenings than The Amazing Spider Man 2, which opened with $8.7 million, but a little bit under Captain America: The Winter Soldier's $10.2 million. Although many projections are being pretty conservative, stating that it will open north of $70 million, if it continues performing like this through out the weekend, specially after expanding to 4,000 domestic locations today, it could open upwards $100 million.
What do you guys think? Will the film perform better than expected and hit the century mark? Will it just roar to an impressive $70+ million opening? Leave your thoughts down bellow and thanks for reading.
