ALRIGHT

MechaGodzilla and the MUTOs were great in the MonsterVerse, but should've been in a bit longer.

OH YEAH

I know its a long shot but I hope the 2 mention's of Roswell in GvK are leading to the introduction of the Monsterverse version of the Xillian's or the Killaks.

Love these homages!

Just posted about this on the front page. It is rather mind-boggling to think GvK could outperform KOTM... during a pandemic release. As much as I enjoyed GvK, I don't know if its entirely a better film than KOTM. Add to the pandemic the... what, 5 release date shifts it had? Not many people even knew when GvK was going to release until amonth prior. It's unbelievable its done so well by comparison.

@G theorist

Yeah, unfortunately general audiences aren't really familiar with Ghidorah, Rodan, and Mothra. Having Godzilla fight Kong attracts more attention because they are both big name characters crossing paths, so the film feels more like a big event film, rather than being just another Godzilla or Kong movie.

Um hello Gojirin?

Biollante is the hottest,it's a fact not an opinion.

@SasquaDash

Don't be bashing my kaiju moth goddess! LOL

Not to mention the title alone will draw in way more people than a solo Godzilla or Kong flim. Since most people have the basic idea of how a movie with a famous kaiju like Godzilla or Kong is gonna go, to most people its refreshing to see a "new"(or atleast new to most people) idea such as those two monsters fighting. In short, this movie appealled more to the average person than the previous installations.

Exactly. With no competition, of course it was going to dominate.

@Xenotaris,

Don't be silly, Mothra can't smile...

...Megaguirus can though.

@Gman

Yeah, I think the massive successes of Avengers: Endgame and Aladdin, as well the more negative critic reviews, hurt King of the Monsters' box office returns.

Godzilla vs Kong doesn't have any major competition and recieved more positive reviews which probably helped to make it a success.

SasquaDash

Actually you are wrong my friend, Mothra is the cutest female kaiju in the series

SasquaDash,
Also it came out a week after Aladdin. King of the Monsters only barely beat Aladdin in its second weekend and even then, Godzilla only made more than it on Friday. Aladdin made barely less Saturday and Sunday. King of the Monsters was lucky it made enough on Friday to beat it.

Aladdin had no problem with Avengers: Endgame's prior success. Aladdin made over $1 Billion. King of the Monsters finished with less than $390 million.

@Gman

I think one of the reasons King of the Monsters underperformed was that it had to deal with major competition. Avengers: Endgame was released shortly before KOTM and made over 2.7 billion. With the massive hype and success that Endgame had, Godzilla was unfortunately overshadowed. 

It's looking like it's going to beat King of the Monsters' final box office take as well.

If this movie breaks $400 million during a global pandemic with less theaters open when King of the Monsters could not, that's... embarrassing.

It's currently one of the top 30 grossing Hollywood films in China with $165.4 million. It will pass Skull Island's $160 million Chinese gross next week to become the most successful Monsterverse film in that country.

The Millennium series had it going on...

Chiharu Niiyama played Yuri Tachibana in Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack. (And as a bonus she recently returned to the genre in Ultraman Z.)


Of course we all love Yumiko Shaku as Akane from Godzilla x MechaGodzilla.

Miho Yoshioka as Asuza Kisaragi in Tokyo SOS.


And then Rei Kikukawa as Dr. Miyuki Otonashi in Godzilla: Final Wars:

so this is the spider thing from that gvk poster... I was hoping for kumonga.. but this is fine

You're All Wrong...

Obviously, Megaguirus is the cutest female character in the Godzilla series...

Okay, I actually was able to make a new topic for GvK's box office...

I might have to do it tomorrow though :/

Website glitch

reupdated my list to include some more Japanese actresses, also I decided to include Elizabeth Olsen

That would be a good fact to go in the food for thought topic

Shaku,definetely,other than that,maybe Yamaguchi and Akiko Wakabayashi

I was trying to make a new topic, however it keeps messing up...

I wanted to mention how Godzilla vs Kong has officially made 357.8 million against a break-even point of 330 million, making it the first major box office success since the pandemic.

I updated my list

Okay my list so far

1:Lora (Rebirth of Mothra 1 and 2) - Sayaka Yamaguchi

2:Akane Yoshiro (Godzilla against Mechagodzilla and Godzilla: Tokyo SOS) - Yumiko Shaku 

3: Torema (Godzilla Island) - Maimi Okuwa

4: Miki Saegusa (Heisei Godzilla films) - Megumi Odaka

5: Dr. Ilene Chen and Dr. Ling Chen (King of the Monsters) - Zhang Ziyi

6: Simmons (Godzilla vs Kong) - Eiza Gonzalez

7: Naoko Okumura (Return of Godzilla) ad Erika Shiragami (Godzilla vs Biollante) - Yasuko Sawaguchi

8: Landes (Godzilla Island) - Kaoru Ukawa

9: Misato Jinguji (Godzilla Island) - Kaori Aso

10: Akiko Namikawa (Invasion of the Astro Monster) - Kumi Mizuno

11: Katsura Mafune (Terror of Mechagodzilla) - Tomoko Ai

12: Tamiye (King Kong vs Godzilla) and Princess Mas Dorina Salno - Akiko Wakabayashi

13: Elle Brody (Godzilla 2014) - Elizabeth Olsen 

14: Audrey Timmonds (Godzilla 1998) - Maria Pitillo 

15: Mason Weaver (Kong: Skull Island) - Brie Larson

cool

ohhhh yeah.

Elizabeth Olsen is a good pick, probably #2 on best looking female Godzilla characters but #1 still goes to Millie Bobby Brown....*blushes for the 2nd time*

Yumiko Shaku is definitely one of my first choices, but HOW has nobody mentioned Elizabeth Olsen yet?

Ok, I see.

But I'll probably still stick with my pick...

Thanks, I would list more but I need to rewatch all of the godzilla movies and proxy godzilla movies

Just realized I forgot 90% of skull Island.

 Lmao. I'll add them soon.

Oh and the rest of the titans that King G awakened.....

I might also add notes for every creature.

Xeno, you are a genius for making this list though...

Cool.

Yeah Minilla/Minya is the ugly toad from the Showa series and Final Wars. Godzilla Junior from the Heisei series actually looked like a baby Godzilla

Yes, and was cute.

But not as much as baby yoda...
