"Godzilla vs. Kong" has officially set the record for best opening day box office since the beginning of the pandemic. The film earned $9.6 million domestically.
The film stars Millie Bobby Brown, Kyle Chandler, Alexander Skarsgård, Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, Shun Oguri, Eiza González, Julian Dennison, and Demián Bichir.
"Wonder Woman 1984" previously held the record, with its Christmas Day opening of $7.5 million. That film did, however, open in fewer theaters.
Adam Wingard directed "Godzilla vs. Kong" from a script by Eric Pearson and Max Borenstein. Mary Parent, Alex Garcia, Eric McLeod, and Brian Rogers produced the film, with Kenji Okuhira, Yoshimitsu Banno, Jon Jashni, and Thomas Tull serving as executive producers. Co-producing were Jay Ashenfelter, Jen Conroy, and Tamara Kent.
