Toho released a new Godzilla film, titled Godzilla Minus One (read our review Here), in Japan on November 3rd, which happens to be Godzilla Day – the anniversary of the 1954 release of the original Godzilla movie. The film made its way over to the United States in December… and it became the highest grossing live-action Japanese film in North America even before a black and white version was released under the title Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color. Director Takashi Yamazaki has let it be known that he’s interested in making a sequel, and during a new interview with Empire magazine he revealed that he would like to feature some “kaiju vs. kaiju” action in the follow-up, if Toho lets him make it!
Yamazaki said, “I would certainly like to see what the sequel would look like. I know that Shikishima’s war seems over, and we’ve reached this state...

Toho released a new Godzilla film, titled Godzilla Minus One (read our review Here), in Japan on November 3rd, which happens to be Godzilla Day – the anniversary of the 1954 release of the original Godzilla movie. The film made its way over to the United States on December 1st, and has quickly become the highest grossing live-action Japanese film in North America. There was a rumor going around that the film had a budget of $15 million – but director Takashi Yamazaki has since spoken up and said he wished he had that much to work with, because the budget was actually lower. With that in mind, it wouldn’t be surprising if Godzilla Minus One‘s success were to lead to a sequel… and Yamazaki says he would like to direct one!

Disney’s “Cruella” strut into China on Sunday with a $1.78 million opening day, coming in sixth in a slow weekend behind reigning box office champ “F9,” according to data from Maoyan.
Day one China figures for “Cruella” were less than a fourth of the $7.7 million the film grossed on its May 28 opening day in North America, where it premiered in theaters and on Disney Plus via a $30 fee. It went on to gross $26.5 million over the Memorial Day weekend, making it the third highest North American debut since the pandemic began.
Although local reception of the Emma Stone-starring title was likely dampened by its unusual Sunday release, its gross nonetheless marks Disney’s second strongest China opening day since the start of the pandemic. It falls behind Mulan’s $8.5 million opening day in September but ahead of debuts for “Raya and the Last Dragon” ($1.4 million) and “Soul”.

“F9” downshifted dramatically from a furious start in Chinese cinemas a week ago to a more pedestrian $20.5 million second weekend. But that was still good enough to take first place ahead of two significant foreign releases.
The “Fast & Furious” franchise title lost 84% of its pace on its second lap, compared with a blistering opening weekend of $137 million. That gives it a cumulative total of $186 million, according to data from consultancy Artisan Gateway.
Opening its campaign in second place was Japanese animation title “Stand By Me Doraemon 2,” which earned $16.3 million in three days.
Hollywood horror title “A Quiet Place II” debuted in third place with $15.0 million. That compared with its noisier debut in North American theaters, where it is estimated to have taken $47 million over three days and perhaps $57 million by the end of the Memorial Day holiday.
Fourth place belonged to Chinese romance “Love Will Tear Us Apart,...

When it comes to forecasting any opening weekend at this summer’s box office, the major studios should take a cue from the Joe Biden administration: under-promise and over-deliver on results.
Not just here in the U.S. but around the globe, the box office remains in a funk.
Several hurdles muddy the waters: The two biggest B.O. capitals in the U.S., LA and NYC, continue to have auditorium capacities capped, three major provinces in Canada are still closed until July Tbd, and an assortment of mixed messaging is out there about what films are available in theaters and in the home. In the past 24 hours, Victoria in Australia underwent a Covid lockdown, including entertainment venues, which will spell a 30% negative impact to the country’s box office.
As such, we can’t merely abide by the old rules of projections.

Paramount’s A Quiet Place Part II is looking to make some noise in China with a last-minute release date now set for this coming Friday (May 28). This is notable given that the first John Krasinski-helmed thriller was among the rare horror pics to gain access to the Middle Kingdom, and then was even granted an extension in 2018.
After several date changes owing to Covid, A Quiet Place Part II is also bowing domestically this weekend, as well as in 12 overseas markets. The original made $341M worldwide with over $34M from China. Stateside, the sequel is selling twice as many advance tickets via Fandango as it did at the same point in its 2020 sales cycle, before being pulled from the schedule due to theater closures. Reviews at Rotten Tomatoes are great with a 93% fresh score. Maoyan is not yet showing pre-sales for AQP2 in China; news of the release...

South Korea claimed to have had the honor of being the first country in the world where “F9” revved into commercial release – the distinction can only have been a matter of hours, as Hong Kong cinemas followed later the same day, on May 19 – and it proved a smart choice. The franchise film finally injected some horsepower into the Korean box office, with a tap on the accelerator from Korean-American star Kang Sung back for a fourth lap.
“F9” earned 5.53 million over the weekend and $$9.83 million over its opening five days, according to data from Kobis, the box office tracking service operated by the Korean Film Council (Kofic). Its five-day-total, means “F9” has already overtaken “Minari” to become the third biggest film of the year at the Korean box office.
“F9” accounted for fully 85% of the weekend box office, and managed to lift the nationwide weekend aggregate to $6.52 million, some 150% higher...
