Kong is completely dead in China now. 168 will be its final rally there.

That's saying Kong Kong 2005 would make 292m today. Probably not happening.

Agreed l hate the inflation argument became there are more factors then that going on with what a movie made at the time.

The inflation argument can be disregarded if you inflate the budget as well.

I don't think budgets have anything to do with it anyway.

That's right. King Kong (2005) didn't have the benefit of an IMAX release and had a much smaller run in China. Ultimately King Kong (2005) was one of the top five highest grossing films of 2005 and was seen by a much bigger audience then Skull island. SI probably wont be a top ten highest grossing film by the end of the year. Right now its at #6 and the Summer movie season even hasn't gone into full swing yet let alone the late year releases in November and December.

Also Cookson how do you know Jackson's film wouldn't hit $292 domestic today? Last year 9 movies made over $300 M

King Kong was the 5th highest grossing film of 2005 at $217 million and was one of the years biggest movies.

Yes, there's no way to know how Kong Kong would do if released today. I didn't say it couldn't.. I said probably not.

That's my point too... nobody knows how a film would do. This is any film too..., and why inflation talk is pointless.

Any word on how Kong is holding up this weekend?

I found that it banged out another $500k on Friday.

When I was looking at the estimates for the weekend on Saturday, and they had Kong at #10! Why it dropped below Get Out and The Case For Christ is beyond me.

Get Out has been holding quite well. 170m looks to be where we're heading for KSI.

The Octopus · Post by **The Octopus** » Sun Apr 16, 2017 5:44 am

^ Yeah but Kong stayed ahead of Get Out for weeks. Why the sudden drop below it now?

Tohosaurus · Post by **Tohosaurus** » Sun Apr 16, 2017 7:29 am

Because Kong has more competition from huge Hollyood movies. Movies like GO don't really compete with those.

The Octopus · Post by **The Octopus** » Sun Apr 16, 2017 7:59 am

Kong is at $552 M. I say a final tally of $560 M is in the cards.

It's already passed Kong 05 at the box office. Sweet!

Skreeonk yeah! So glad its done so well. Would've liked if it did reached $600 M but that's still good and better then nothing.

YES! I honestly thought it was going to be close, but not be able to reach over 550 million. Glad I was wrong!

GoWhaleTours · Post by **GoWhaleTours** » Sun Apr 16, 2017 7:00 pm

Im glad the monsterverse movies are critically and financially performing well.

Gothicserpent · Post by **Gothicserpent** » Wed Apr 19, 2017 11:04 am

So, Skull Island is now the highest grossing kaiju film of all time.

Damn, when you put it that way it sure sounds way more impressive!

Even though it was seen by fewer people than King Kong (2005) and Godzilla (1998).
