While the state of theatrical distribution in May is impossible to guess at this point, one has to assume that many people will be watching Godzilla vs. Kong for the first time on their home television, which may not be tiny, but certainly won’t be the same thing as seeing it in a theater.
Godzilla vs Kong, like all of Warner Bros. 2021 films, are currently set to debut on the HBO Max streaming service on the same day they open in theaters.
It’s just the sort of story that the massive movie screens were made for, which brings into sharp relief the fact that many may not be watching the movie in that way.
