If you scare them, they will come. Or something like that.
Apparently audiences were much more frightened by Godzilla and King Kong’s new flick than by the one from the Ghostbusters.
“Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” stomped all over “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” with an $80 million opening weekend.
“Frozen Empire” made $15 million and finished second. Total is $73 million.
A new empire vs. a frozen one, seems logical I guess.
Not a lot of action otherwise at the box office. “Dune Two” crossed $250 million. “Kung Fu Panda 4” hit $150 million.
There are a lot of miscellaneous movies playing to near empty houses, titles you would only go to if you were already in the lobby, it was raining, and you figured, Why not? For example, something called “Arthur the King” with Mark Walhberg has made almost $20 million in 3 weeks. It’s one of Wahlberg’s lowest grossing films. They should have put the talking toy bear in it.
This coming weekend we get Woody Allen’s “Coup de Chance,” an A plus mystery that no one should miss. Also, Dev Patel’s “Monkey Man.”
