It's a good thing that Godzilla vs Kong has already wrapped filming, because the current box office tally for Godzilla: King of the Monsters are the type of numbers that lead to studio execs tweaking scripts or outright canceling projects.
The film is headed for a $400 million worldwide haul from a production budget of $170 million. The 2014 Godzilla reboot grossed $529 million, while Kong: Skull Island finished its theaterical run at $566.6 million. King of the Monsters also debuted to the lowest Rotten Tomatoes score of all three MonsterVerse films at 40% (2014 Godzilla and Skull Island both scored 75%).
With Godzilla vs Kong wrapped, how the disappointing box office numbers will alter WB's plans for the film and the MonsterVerse as a whole moving forwards remains to be seen.
