Godzilla king of the monsters was a great Godzilla movie for the fans. It sucks that the first movie that America made that was the most true to the original movies is the one that underperforms. I just want more Godzilla movies.
Godzilla 2014 was a great movie and very reminiscent of the original, very first Godzilla movie. KoM was a great monster movie, though. What is shocking is how well Godzilla 1998 did, as it was truly horrible. But there was a HUGE cross marketing promotion and it was during various Jurassic Park sequels and such (as is obvious by the whole "baby Godzilla"/basically velociraptor sequence in the 1998 movie).
@@KYCCCGuy The 1998 Godzilla movie wasn't horrible. As a movie about Godzilla it's terrible, but as a monster movie on its own, while it isn't good, it's actually not that bad either. Just think of it as a remake of The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms.
Depends on what part of the internet. As more and more people all over the world spend more of their time online, the internet is ceasing to be a bubble where only certain people express their opinions. Some sites are less frequented than others, but as more and more people spend use the internet, the numbers that visit and use even these sites is increasing.
I saw Godzilla this weekend and I really liked it! Loved the monster vs. monster action. Don't expect great writing with these type of movies but they sure are very fun! Hope it can get back its budget so we can get more of these movies.
I don't think Disney will re-release Endgame to take the record. The MCU is easily the strongest franchise at the box office right now, but Avatar 2 is coming out in December 2021 and is going to need a strong marketing campaign. I think that if Endgame doesn't pass Avatar, they're just going to look at it as a blessing in disguise, so they can market Avatar 2 as the sequel to the highest grossing film of all time.
@@bettercallmaul5810 Agreed. Disney isn't going to take the extra pain needed to get Endgame past Avatar when it is in their best interests to keep Avatar at the top

Well that's what happens when you make a movie that only appeals to the "real fans" or whatever instead of making a movie that can appeal to all people.
I think you guys are underestimating Godzilla's global impact. It still hasn't released in Saudi Arabia, Spain, and (where it's really gonna rake in the dough) Poland. Them poles love them some Monster movies. :P
Dan this show is made for a very niche audience that is very much into the business of the film industry and I am one of those people. Thank you very much!
Godzilla 2 is kicking ass in foreign market. It made 130 million in it's first weekend. More than one and a half times more of Skull Island. And Kong made 400 million in foreign market. I think King Of The Monsters will surpass 600 million worldwide. Even though it's domestic box office will be around 130-150 million. Still Godzilla 2 is going to be the most successful Monsterverse movie.
Dan: "I was so lonely last week" Dan and Keanu are lonely, why are the best people lonely :( Edit: would happily watch an Infinity War Endgame marathon in theatres again :D
The reason Godzilla didn't do as great as it should've in my opinion is all the negative reviewers saying the narrative dragged it down. I agree with that but Godzilla is all about Godzilla it self.
Really like 70% of the Godzilla films I have never cared about the narrative. Hell I at least enjoyed the one in this film a lot more then the 2014 film. When Cranston was killed we then had to follow the most generic, bland character with no charisma and who showed no emotions at all.
Wasn't such a big issue in this movie tbh. In the 2014 film, it was annoying since they were constantly trying to push the action to the end, but in this one, the fights were played with much more consistency throughout the movie.
This weekend was depressing. I saw Godzilla 3 times. I loved it even though it had its issues. Sad to see one of my favorite franchises from childhood crash and burn.
@@slowmoe1686 I'm biased towards it so I enjoyed more than most but I can admit it wasn't as good as it should of been. Mixed and average opinions is what I got from people.
@@Batmanpooped Or a giant moth or giant pterodactyl although technically Rodan is a pteranodon. I mean the 2014 movie did just fine and that was with 2 monsters that even Godzilla fans never had seen before.
@Luis Martinez What the hell facts am I making up. The only fact I made was saying that the 2014 Godzilla film did very well. 13th highest grossing movie of the year with a box office of over 200m. Which is much better the Mediocre for a film that wasn't anywhere near projected to make that much.
I swear the comments section of Charting With Dan is the happiest comment section on the internet!! We're just a bunch of movie nerds who love graphs and also Dan. Keep up the good work guys!!
This is some of the best analysis of the film industry I've seen in a while. Really great work Dan, your content is well made/thought out and appreciated.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters is one of the best films I've seen in 2019. A much better entertaining and better film Godzilla 2014 which I really like. But to me Godzilla: King of the Monsters was a true Godzilla film than Godzilla 2014. While it sucks that it's not making more money than Godzilla 2014 and Kong: Skull Island, but I'm glad I'm getting Godzilla vs. Kong next year in March. The MonsterVerse is such an underrated shared universe and they could a lot of cool things in the universe. I hope Godzilla vs. Kong becomes an successful film. If not well I'm okay not getting more big budget American Godzilla films after Godzilla vs. Kong, because I can live with just four MonsterVerse films; Godzilla 2014, Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and Godzilla vs. Kong. And besides it's not the end of the world because there will always be more Godzilla projects in Japan. As long as Japan still makes new Godzilla projects than I'm all.
Landon Legate The reason because WB's movies were being overshadowed by Captain Marvel, Avengers and Aladdin. Disney is the one that destroyed this movie and it will continue rampaging with Toy Story 4 and Lion King. It's very sad.
I don’t think this will effect Godzilla vs Kong at all... there’s a lot of people not on the internet that have no idea this Godzilla movie is connected to 2017s Kong. I literally have to explain this stuff to people like my parents. Once people see the first trailer for Godzilla Vs. Kong, you can bet people will recap the first couple of films leading into it. Also, I’m so happy Aladdin is doing great. I really loved it, as a fan of the original.
David Jordao I know what you mean because I know some people there are not Godzilla fans have stated that they are really interested in seeing Godzilla vs. Kong because obviously is the second time in history we're going to see two famous movie monsters Battle it out and I'm really hoping it do wells in the box office because I would like to see more monsterverse films and another example is Warner Brothers has the DC film universe and believe me they had a rocky start but I heard they were doing pretty well with Aquaman and Shazam not to mention Wonder Woman
Godzilla was awesome, doesn't matter about the box office, it will still make money in China basically even with a crowded summer. Godzilla Vs Kong will have a better outing for sure.
@@DarinMichaelGrant who gives a flying fcuk what the critics think ? The vast majority of the general public who have seen it do think it is awesome & that word of mouth will give it a chance to break even in my opinion
With an overly inflated $200 million production budget it could flop but I don't think so most likely it'll make a little bit of money but probably nowhere near as much as they hoped for
@@apophis9192 You have to remember: *Profit* = Gross Revenue - (Production + Publicity and Advertising + 55% of Revenue Taken by Theater Owners Worldwide). Right now total revenue is looking like $400-450M (could go down if its hold isn't firm). Based on this, WB and Legendary are looking at around a $95M *loss* after $185M est. production, $100M est. P&A, and $235M est. theater owners' take.
I love how this show just applies to more and more niche of an audience as it goes on. I'm onboard for the whole ride. Can't wait till we get to the point Dan that you are having to explain statistical significance and P-values. Loving the actual charts, and always love how you consider a wide berth of factors in your explanations to paint as realistic a picture as you can of what is happening in the box office space!
Nobody No One i just think that they judge it harshly, and that made people less interested in seeing it. It was much better than Godzilla 14’. Audiences who have seen it have liked it.
Bobby Smith I wish any of the 3 by me did the same. They didn’t even give us the 10pm showing which they did when brightburn came out. For me if it’s a big movie, I have got to see it in Dolby. But I guess some people got lucky with their amcs
I liked the first one. They should have just put more effort into the story and characters. Then reviews would have been better. More monsters is great, but not if everything else is worse.
Nobody No One They didn’t focus more on the human characters because the main complaint people had of the last one was that it focused too much on the human characters and not enough of the big guy himself. When you do a Godzilla movie you make the human plot on a scale of semi interesting to very interesting but you always have to make it where the main focus is Godzilla because that’s who the audience came to see. If this involved a mech kaiju with pilots or alien invaders trying to take over the world then you would have to put a little more effort than usual into the human plot otherwise your good with what you have.
@@Predatorwarrior18 Making Godzilla the focus is fine, but don't neglect everything else when it's a major part of the movie. Only trying to please fans will likely limit the box office and potentially end a franchise.
Nobody No One There’s hardly any danger of Big G’s franchise ending since Toho plans on creating more movies with him along with Legendary. You do have a point though on trying to aim beyond just the target audience however if you don’t even have said audience into the film you’ve given then the franchise really is in danger of ending. It’s not just money that keeps a franchise going it’s the fans as well.
This member of the Handful of People who Actually Saw "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle" in the Theatre in the Summer of 2000 Club adores your advanced charts, Dan! Thank you! Boy, no wonder I'd forgotten what came out in '00! All I could think of was "Gladiator," and I believe that was in May that year. Best.
i feel like godzilla will maintain for a bit. it was a great movie and will be steady as word goes around. i do love that they kept many of the main monster's origins to a degree.
There are a LOT of movies out right now that I kind of want to see and it’s been matter of me figuring out what I can catch when. Unfortunately some of them are going to get bumped to streaming.
fun fact I saw Infinity War and Endgame together because my town‘s cinema had a special double screening one day before release :D I have to say that that really hurt Endgame... when I saw it on it‘s own the second time I liked it better
My man Dan! I was driving along and listening but then you starting showing off and I had to find a parking spot to see these charts. Amazing work. Thank you. You kept the nerd in me fed this week.
Dan you're wrong about Chicken Run! It made 5x it's budget and became not only a British classic, but the highest grossing stop motion animated film in history :)
Can I see a chart for "Average budget of the films that made it to 1000+ screens from 1982 to 2018" as to gauge the industry as a whole? Hell, I'd even love to know what the range between the highest and lowest is.
I can tell you Dan, here's at least one person that hasn't gotten around to seeing End Game yet. Last local screening tomorrow night, so I guess it's down to now or never (at the cinema).
"Chicken Run" was quite successful actually. It made $225 million against a $45 million budget, making it the highest-grossing stop motion animated film in history.
People seem to be down on Godzilla box office numbers. It won the weekend and that is all that matters. It is a foreign entity so I would emphasize on the foreign box office more so with the domestic box office being the cherry on the icing.
1. Studio earn most money from domestic BO 2. This movie flopped everywhere except 2 countries 3. It doing OK in China, but studio takes only like 25-30% 4. It doing OK in Japan. For this movie all money goes to rights owner, no to studio.
Dan apologizing for making the show more visually stimulating is peak Dan lol. Never change man
I love when Dan has that "I just created a new chart" look! It's gonna be a good show
You never need to apologize for giving us more Charting. We will take as much time as are willing to give us!

This member of the Handful of People who Actually Saw "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle" in the Theatre in the Summer of 2000 Club adores your advanced charts, Dan! Thank you! Boy, no wonder I'd forgotten what came out in '00! All I could think of was "Gladiator," and I believe that was in May that year. Best.
Dan your nerdiness is a gift! Fucking love you!
Dan has his glasses back!!! I’m so glad you don’t have to memorize you two tapes notes below the camera 😂
Now that's a start Dan, lets get next week show to a full hour (no sarcasm here i really want that)
Damn't people, go see Godzilla! Take your kids! They'll love it!
Did see it. Didn't like it. Hope it makes money though.
Here is hoping American audiences find King of the monsters! Such a great movie!
i feel like godzilla will maintain for a bit. it was a great movie and will be steady as word goes around. i do love that they kept many of the main monster's origins to a degree.
I'm rooting hard for John Wick 3 to stay strong! I want Dan talking about John Wick talk for as long as we can keep it going.
Godzilla King of Monsters is a much better movie.
Better but not good.
They should have released it at the start of this year, like Febuary, not many big films came out till Captain Marvel.
There are a LOT of movies out right now that I kind of want to see and it’s been matter of me figuring out what I can catch when. Unfortunately some of them are going to get bumped to streaming.
I could listen to Lon list movies and Dan quickly state how they did financially for much longer than was presented lol
fun fact I saw Infinity War and Endgame together because my town‘s cinema had a special double screening one day before release :D I have to say that that really hurt Endgame... when I saw it on it‘s own the second time I liked it better
My man Dan! I was driving along and listening but then you starting showing off and I had to find a parking spot to see these charts. Amazing work. Thank you. You kept the nerd in me fed this week.
No pee breaks in Endgame. It's called strategic dehydration.
Charting just keeps getting better! Keep at it y'all.
Starting to think Dark Phoenix is gonna get that number #1 spot... every showtime at my AMC is sold out. Friday, Saturday, & Sunday
Thanks for sharing another perspective with these charts. Time well spent! This was a really interesting take.
Welcome back Lon, I missed you! And love the charting this week Dan, you keep doing you!
It’s interesting to watch this video now with the Godzilla vs Kong delay announcement. I just hope it’s good.
Last Action Hero is for real awesome. Such an amazing concept
Finally my stats class paying off!
Dozens of us want to know! 😂😂
Dan you're wrong about Chicken Run! It made 5x it's budget and became not only a British classic, but the highest grossing stop motion animated film in history :)
Dan: "It's almost like the Internet isn't the real world"
Can I see a chart for "Average budget of the films that made it to 1000+ screens from 1982 to 2018" as to gauge the industry as a whole? Hell, I'd even love to know what the range between the highest and lowest is.
I can tell you Dan, here's at least one person that hasn't gotten around to seeing End Game yet. Last local screening tomorrow night, so I guess it's down to now or never (at the cinema).
"Chicken Run" was quite successful actually. It made $225 million against a $45 million budget, making it the highest-grossing stop motion animated film in history.
People seem to be down on Godzilla box office numbers. It won the weekend and that is all that matters.
It is a foreign entity so I would emphasize on the foreign box office more so with the domestic box office being the cherry on the icing.
Its not IT Open with 40 m less than tye first one thats terrible
1. Studio earn most money from domestic BO
2. This movie flopped everywhere except 2 countries
3. It doing OK in China, but studio takes only like 25-30%
4. It doing OK in Japan. For this movie all money goes to rights owner, no to studio.
