Theater counts: Godzilla vs. Kong set to dominate another weekend

April 15, 2021

Godzilla vs. Kong will once again lead the pack this week as all newcomers are opening in limited release. The film played in 3,084 locations last week, and we do not expect it to lose much, if any steam this week. The monster action movie has been the biggest film of the pandemic, earning over $70m domestically, surpassing another Warner Bros., Tenet, which ended its run on January 1, 2021 with a domestic gross of $58m. Despite the lack of wide releases this week, the majority of the films on our list have increased theaters this week, showing more positive signs of the movie industry getting back to business. In limited release this week is Monday, starring Sebastian Stan and Denise Gough, showing in 54 locations.

Looking ahead to next week, two wide releases debut. Mortal Kombat from Warner Bros. and the hugely popular Japanese anime hit Demon Slayer The Movie: Mugen Train, from Funimation. Both films will debut on both traditional and IMAX screens.

Here are this weekend’s theater counts (Warner Bros. titles’ counts are estimates):
