What will the upcoming Legendary's Kaiju Cinematic Universe bring us after Godzilla vs King Kong?

Well they have writers board bouncing ideas off of each other for Godzilla vs Kong, so it's definitely happening. Whether or not it's the last movie depends on how good Godzilla: King of The Monsters and it do. 

I would love to see them bring "The Beast from 20,000 fathoms" back. But I doubt it will happen.

Kong: Skull Island is at $509 mil and climbing! That's in four weeks. It will eventually overtake G 14, which had a run of about 15 weeks. I think it's safe to say it will be a success for Legendary.

@KoldWarKid62 I think it will too. It already has as far as foreign numbers and it will worldwide as well. I don't know about domestically though.

Jiger,
Currently Skull Island has passed $150 million at the domestic box office. It'll probably trickle into the $160-170 million range by the end of its run. Godzilla hit $200 million domestically. It's still a domestic success, especially considering the insane competition. Quite frankly I thought Skull Island would be lucky to surpass $100 million domestically.

Skull Island made $32 million worldwide on the last four weekdays. I'm willing to bet it hits or surpasses Godzilla's final worldwide gross by the end of the weekend. If not, it will definitely pass Godzilla's $529 million sometime next week.

Godzilla's name recognition and its killer ad/marketing campaign made people want to see it, but word of mouth cooled it down. Considering it made $93 mil it’s first weekend, which was fantastic, it took a painfully long time to reach $200 mil.

 It's been the complete opposite with Kong. It looks like Legendary learned their lesson with Godzilla, because even though Edwards is a better filmmaker, from a movie-going entertainment experience, overall Kong delivered where Godzilla didn’t, and that's the difference.

It makes me look forward to their future movies in this monsterverse even more.

Yes, word of mouth for Kong has been much better than Godzilla and repeat business has been a factor indicating that audiences really like it. Though the movie still lacks strong characters, it did deliver ones that were more engaging with an adventure story that entertains. People just like this movie and that's great news.

Did I call it in my last couple of posts in this thread or what? Kong: Skull Island just surpassed Godzilla's worldwide gross of $529 million with $534 million! It will likely surpass Peter Jackson's Kong soon.

^Yup, you came around. Good to see.

It's mind blowing. It's really amazing to see the film do this well and be this successful, both domestically and abroad.

Domestically it's hit $156 million, which is nothing to sniff at right now and may be within the $170 million range before its all over. The movie has legs, which means it's liked. Legendary needs to pump out another one like this in 2019.

Before I even saw it, the vast majority of reviews I read were positive, and even the negative had good things to say. I was just hoping it would catch on with general audiences, which it obviously has. I loved it, but I've loved other movies I thought should have crushed the B.O. (Pacific Rim, among others) and didn't, domestically anyway, so I just wasn't going to make any predictions on it.

I'm happy because it bodes well for the future of this monster verse.

I would like to see Gigan (as a MUTO), Gamera, Destoroyah and Anguirus. In terms of Kaiju at least. But, as I stated in another topic, if Ghidorah turns out to be an alien, then that changes a lot and makes things very unpredictable. If space invaders do get involved in this series, then we could see Mecha-Godzilla or something. We don't know just yet.

Turns out Kong: Skull Island didn't hit $534 million this past weekend. It hit $535 million instead! ;)

To put this in perspective: It took Godzilla (2014) 15 weeks to make $529 million. Kong: Skull Island made $535 million in less than 5 weeks.

Numbers numbers numbers. What is this, math class? You're sucking the joy out of a bunch of freakin' monster movies for cryin' out loud!

"Somebody release the Kraken already!"

Suck suck suck. The sound of all the JOY being drained from this topic. God, it's worse than a Barry Manilow concert around here! Excuse me, I gotta go do something cheerful, like slit my wrists or something . . .

You're welcome to not read it and partake in another conversation or create your own. Otherwise my best suggestion is to move along from a conversation you don't like.

Very measured response there, G. Not bad.

That was actually just comedy on my part. Don't wanna take things TOO seriously moddin' message boards.

Gormaru Island is reporting Skull Island for a possible $559-560 million by the end of the weekend, which sounds about right.

The movie is coming to a slow and any significant bump will be due to dollar theater sales. It should put the final around $570-$580 world wide--Which is excellent news.

Meanwhile, in Japan Skull Island was last seen with $16.2 million and an attendance of 1.21 million. It's expected to fall out of the top 10 this week and will probably finish around $20 million with an attendance around 1.5 million.

$20 million would put the sales around some of the more successful Heisei Godzilla movies, but the attendance would be less than most of the Millennium Godzilla movies. It would also put it $10 million behind Godzilla '14 in Japan and roughly $56 million behind Shin Godzilla.

It would be epic if they maybe did a "Godzilla returns" film after Kong vs Godzilla. Maybe after the movie Godzilla goes into hybernation after the fight with Kong that maybe weakened him. Aliens would see this as an opportunity to seize earth while their protector lies dormant.

Maybe they launch Gigan or some other new alien monster legendary made. The chaos would awake Godzilla and they would fight, Godzilla emerging victorious. I highly doubt this though.

Hmmm... not wanting to revive the thread too much, but this is an interesting topic. There's been talk that Pacific Rim could eventually end up being a part of the Legendary MonsterVerse, so just imagine that crossover. The breach being formed by a dying Gigan, as more Kaiju come through the portal.
