With "Aladdin", "John Wick: Chapter 3", "Avengers: Endgame" and "Pokemon Detective Pikachu" still doing well at the box-office, Warner Bros. is unleashing the new "Godzilla" movie to wreak havoc in more than 4,000 theaters. "Godzilla: King of the Monsters" has been getting mixed reviews, but the buzz and hype have already helped the film deliver a $6.3 million from Thursday night previews and so far it looks like it might be heading for a $50+ million weekend debut. The film is 35th installment in the iconic franchise, a sequel to the 2014 reboot, and the third movie in Legendary's MonsterVerse.
The Elton John biopic "Rocketman" also opened in theaters on Friday after premiering at the Cannes Film Festival and being released in the U.K. The film has received glowing reviews and brought in $2.3 million from previews, and is expected to deliver a $30+ million debut over the weekend.
The last of the new wide releases is the Blumhouse horror film "Ma" starring Octavia Spencer. The film received a mixed reception from critics, but has managed to rake in a decent $1.4 million in previews from 2,400 theaters, which could amount to a $17 million debut.
