“Godzilla vs. Kong” became the highest-grossing movie in North America since the start of the pandemic, giving theaters a much-needed boost after a year in crisis.
The Warner Bros. and Legendary film earned $69.5 million through its second weekend, passing the level it needed to become the largest cinematic draw since March 2020, according to Boxoffice Pro. That vaulted it well past “Tenet,” “Croods: A New Age” and “Wonder Woman 1984,” each of which debuted last year. “Godzilla” made $13.4 million in ticket sales this weekend.
