As of Sunday, the latest MonsterVerse movie raked in $48.5 million domestically, and its current worldwide total sits at nearly $286 million worldwide.
Opening on March 31, and thus setting itself with an extended opening weekend, Godzilla vs. Kong has been performing incredibly well in theaters.
Evidently Legendary Entertainment is keeping this in mind for Dune, as Deadline reports that it hasn’t been decided if the latest adaptation of Frank Herbert’s seminal sci-fi novel will be screened on HBO Max for a one-month period in addition to its theatrical run.
So although the COVID-19 pandemic remains an ongoing concern and is still keeping theaters from running business as usual, this just goes to show that there’s still a desire to watch major motion pictures on the big screen.
