Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire has done it. A few months back, the movie industry welcomed the monstrous film to theaters with big expectations in mind. Directed by Adam Wingard, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire promised to bolster the MonsterVerse with action unlike any we have seen before. Now, the movie has proven its box office dominance as a new report confirms Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is the highest-grossing of the entire MonsterVerse.
Yes, that is right. The MonsterVerse sequel upended all expectations to become the franchise's biggest movie yet. According to new box office totals, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire has grossed $570 million USD globally. This new box office report confirms Kong: Skull Island is now ranked second in the franchise. The movie earned $568.6 million upon its launch in 2017. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire has kept Hollywood's famous ape on top, but the MonsterVerse is far from over. Already, plans are in the works for a Godzilla x Kong sequel, but Wingard will not be helming the sequel.
After all, a slew of MonsterVerse updates have dropped since Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire went live. Grant Sputter, the director of I Am Mother, has been tapped by Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Entertainment to oversee the sequel. In light of Godzilla x Kong's popularity, many speculated Wingard would return to the MonsterVerse to finish out a trilogy seeing as he directed Godzilla vs Kong. However, it looks like Sputter will helm the next era of the MonsterVerse.
