While it was originally expected to be a close weekend at the box office, Kong: Skull Island had no trouble running away with the box office crown.
Box Office Mojo reports that Kong: Skull Island opened with an impressive $15,865 per-screen average from 3,846 theaters.
While Kong: Skull Island may not have a bigger debut than Godzilla, it may have more longevity at the box office and have a better overall run at the box office, but we’ll have to wait and see.
While Logan didn’t suffer a tremendously drastic second weekend drop (57.2%), it did drop to second place, with Warner Bros. Kong: Skull Island overperforming, taking in an impressive $61 million while Logan earned a decent $37.8 million.
