Can't wait for "The First Omen: Spooky Empire" to complete the 2024 empire trilogy.

The Legendary Monsterverse is one of the few franchises I can remember making a financial comeback after having decreasing box office returns with each sequel. Even making Godzilla vs. Kong was a risk after King of the Monsters and that was before the pandemic. I wonder if being one of the first major movies to release after the pandemic gave it a shot in the arm since there was less competition and in a weird way, was one of the few movie series that actually benefited from the pandemic.

You know it is kind of crazy to think that Godzilla vs Kong was one of the big movies to reignite the theater going experience and then we see its follow up movie becoming the biggest opening (so far) of this new year. Goes to show how much weight this franchise does still have. It’s the biggest one in entertainment in terms of how many films have been made and maybe the longest lasting one to this day. It has no plans of stopping.

I kinda feel bad for Ghostbusters. It didn't get much promotion for one thing, along with that, it was released at the wrong time, between Kung Fu Panda and GxK, which pretty much put a damper on it!!

@charvolth

Ай бұрын

There was a bit of promotion in traditional areas. I think the middling reviews and audience reaction didn't help. I thought it was enjoyable, but the script had its flaws. I am not totally surprised by the sharp second weekend drop. The faithful came out opening weekend, but the general audience draw seems weaker. Actually I went in to last weekend not expecting much from GxK. but a good performance from that and the weaker GB offering, it made sense.

I was still in middle of finishing the Godzilla and Kong and you dropped this. So much content from Dan in just a week...

Hey, my name is Chantal! And I want to go to fairyland! That's a movie for me!

21:30 I love the height inconsistency in Godzilla and it's movies/posters Here it seems to be near the Eiffel Tower? which if so nearly 1000 feet tall and Godzilla towers above it for a movie where he was only around 350 lol

I find it funny WB's movies are doing well considering what they've been doing behind the scenes not only in the film industry but the video game industry as well.

I know these are already 30min long, but I miss those streaming charts. They were how I found out about more niche movies, like Red Notice.

Earliest I’ve ever been here, Hi Dan! Loved your Godzilla/Kong ranking!

Godzilla x Kong had a great Friday, I was really surprised, that it only ended up with 80 million. Still impressive, especially worldwide.

Dan is the man.

How could the inflation adjustment from 14 years ago not be drastic? Based on my grocery bill, things have changed a lot since 2010....

I remember the Sonic movie saved by the wildest concept.... listening to the audience, and GxK did just that, they delivered all the fun related to the epic brawl among giant monsters, very cool to see some people really giving us great movies, I hope the numbers help them to make more

Though it only got a little lip service (understandably as it's a little beyond the scope of the video), the Japanese release of Oppenheimer is rather interesting, as it almost couldn't secure a distributor due to controversy around the Barbenheimer phenomenon and general apprehension about the subject matter. A rather poetic final market, even if only unintentionally.

You know you're successful when you get knighted outside of the two traditional announcements per year. Well done Sir Christopher.

It's a good time to be a godzilla fan

I cannot believe that I just saw Chantal im Märchenland on Charts with Dan. I saw the trailer before Dune and was just shaking my head the entire time. Plus, I'm not sure how you get a fantasy spin-off from a high school comedy...

hi dan! love the show. it feels strange to see you say Oppenheimer closed when i will be going to see it tomorrow (for the 3rd time!) in IMAX in Japan tomorrow haha. i will be contributing to that international gross! also, i just finished your Godzilla ranked video. i hope more long content comes out! thanks for all you do!!

Charts! Charts! Charts! Charts! Charts!

Godzilla was mad at everything! Wow it was FUN!

Hey.... crazy, I actually worked (briefly) on that obscure German movie at number 5 internationally. Glad (and a bit surprised) it did reasonably well.

Clearly the way forward for Legendary/WB is to send Godzilla to Arrakis to fight a sandworm. Perhaps Paul Atreides' use of atomics creates a terrifying radioactive mutant sandworm which only Godzilla (and Kong) can defeat. ;-P

"Someone Like You" is a prequel to "Anyone But You" that came out a few months ago. 🤣

Congrats to Legendary, they making films people actually wanna pay to see!

Hey Dan, could you do a similar James Bond ranking video with all the movies? Thanks

Very happy for the success of Godzilla x Kong. It should ensure the Monsterverse continues. Also that Godzilla and Kong ranking video you did was very well done!

Enjoyed GxK NE. I went to a well attended I-Max 3D showing, so people are loving the premium formats. I will say, 'In the Land of Saints and Sinners' deserved better. It was refreshing to see Liam Neeson in a decent film for once. Actually it was the best of the three films I caught last weekend.

I’ve been looking forward to this video for awhile. Started watching your show when you covered Godzilla vs Kong and now we are here for Godzilla x Kong!

Late night with the devil was great; a bit of nostalgia for the days when we had the slew of shows like twilight zone, outer limits, tales from the crypt etc

Seeing "Chantal im Märchenland" in the top five world wide grossing films charts made me spit out my drink. I don't know how to explain its success to non-german speakers.

Monkey Man looks epic. Wasn't there a Hanuman movie recently too?

I know that the closures are about domestically not reporting grosses, but with a movie with as long legs as Oppenheimer I find it funny that the week you declared it closed it finally o(p)pens in its 2nd most important market culturally speaking 😂

So good! I do miss the a&a section. X

Great episode Dan!

Thanks Dan! Wooo look at these science fiction fantasy pictures kicking ass!

Anyone else notice that the domestic posters for Godzilla x Kong, Kung Fu Panda, and Dune have the characters facing the camera, while the international posters have them facing the right side? I'm very curious if this is a simple coincidence or a common trend in global marketing techniques.

I thought you were about to comment on Monkey Man and The First Omen's near identical posters!

19:07 It looks like Godzilla and Kong are rushing to beat up Po.

Hey Dan if possible definitely check out The Goat Life it's such a beautiful made movie

Ready for the breakdown and the next Monsterverse movie!

Can we talk about how Legendary is part owned by the Chinese, which contributes to it being pushed heavily in China. Hence making big numbers in the Chinese market. Thanks.

Updated weekend totals put GxK: The New Empire at 195 million worldwide.

Dan, I want to see Megalopolis here in North Carolina, no matter how crazy it is. Do you think it will get a wide release?

For that slide where you calculate Oppenheimer profit, think we should deduct the money spent on the awards marketing campaign. They must have spent a lot of money over several months on PR, events, gifts, etc to push this movie through in the awards season. That must have made a significant dent on the profit of $139m shown in your calculations

kinda ironic that in 2021 Dune and Godzilla vs Kong were two of the movies that carried the box office that time, and now in 2024 they meet again and doing the same thing. 😅

Obviously, moviegoers decided to spend the weekend prepping for this week's Dan Murrell Kong and Godzilla movie ranking video.

The preview I saw for 'Someone Like You' looked even crazier than you explained it. In the preview I saw, it wasn't his dead girlfriend's twin that he was pursuing but basically a stranger who he has convinced himself had to be similar to his dead girlfriend because his dead girlfriend was born via IVF and he discovers that another couple adopted one of the frozen inseminated IVF eggs that his dead girlfriend had been a part of and so now he is on the hunt for this person since it is the biological "twin" of his dead girlfriend. Absolutely bonkers and the thought of someone finding that romantic terrifies me lol.

I highly recommend The Goatlife. It’s an incredible film.

Your Kong Godzilla vid might have better results in the long term due to being a bit less day to day relevant. Great vid as usual, thanks!

Dan means that it has closed in the US. Moreover, last weekend Oppenheimer made only 2,57 million in Japan; usually movies have great legs there, but I don't see it making more than 12-15 million, so maximum 974-977 worldwide and 4 to 6 millions more in profit

I feel like the keep making Ghostbusters stuff to sell merchandise. I don't have the numbers just a theory. Ghostbuster is one of my fav movies but man do I wish they made a tv show that was like a cross between Supernatural and the animated show. These new movies are just okay. The most supernatural thing in Afterlife was a Walmart that looked clean. Also, I heard that one Sunday Late Night with the Devil made 666,666 in gross but I'm not sure if that is just internet rumor.

Wait, are you kidding me?! "Chantal im Märchenland" is so popular, it gets mentioned on Charts with Dan?! I've seen the trailer and it was, without a doubt, one of the absolute greatest PoS trailers I've seen in years.

Probably won't give it a serious worldwide take boost from Japan but GxK doesn't open there til April 26th I think. This weekend will be a good tell if it can come close to the 200 million domestic take. Hopefully it doesn't drop more than 50%
