MonsterVerse: Beyond 2020

[GodzillaFan1990's]

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet but apparently Mulan is at risk as being boycotted due to some political things that I don't want to mention in this site at China which now I can't help but wonder if that's going to make the chances of Godzilla vs Kong being a hit even if it's a not a big hit higher as a result?

I hope I'm not breaking any rules here regarding politics and if I am I apologize and you can remove my post.

Its Disney tho.

That equals nostalgia, lots of money and people being drawn in. Look where that lead with Lion King, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin especially given Mulan alongside them are among the sacred 10 of arguably Disney's most popular decade the Renaissance Era which is why Dumbo didn't do as well because it wasn't among those.

Aladdin has the Genie backlash, Lion King had Scar looking improper plus the removal of be prepared, all Disney remakes have had some sort of backlash to them.. Doesn't stop the from making money...

This wont help Godzilla vs Kong... If there is no interest Mulan could fall flat on it's face doesn't mean people will flock to Godzilla. Godzilla and Kong have to have the interest there on there own. Mulan Is easily gonna make 700$ million... We at this point have to hope Godzilla vs Kong can even break 450$ million.

I personally think Godzilla vs Kong is going to struggle to make it past 420$ million worldwide. Sorry I just don't see is making any higher.. 450/500$ maybe if its really good and a Quiet Place 2 under performs.

Mulan unlike those other minor nitpicks is actually diverging from the version fans love so much.

I think it's a little silly to make any box office projections for GvK when we haven't gotten a single piece of major marketing yet

Yup... plus KotM severely underperformed to expectations. I do t think anyone predicted under 400m WW. I follow the bo a lot but don’t think I’ll be predicting GvsKong.

Plenty of people did, including myself.

Going to stop predicting as well. I was guesstimating 700 million WW for KOTM and that didn’t come true in the slightest; the amount it actually made was quite laughable. Ah well, we’ll see what happens for GvK once we actually have GvK in theaters already.

This. I recall seeing plenty of predictions that where around this ball park.

The folks proclaiming KOTM was the best thing since sliced bread were the ones betting 600m+ and laughing in your face if you dared predict anything lower

[_JNavs_]

There weren't plenty, there were very few who had it under 400m.

The rest had it from 575-800+, from critiquers to blowhards.

[G2000]

I was definitely thinking at least above 500 million just based on past performance

While numerous factors definitely influenced it’s poor performance I’ve seen a general agreement that the lackluster marketing definitely played a part (the SDCC trailer got everyone talking, but it was released a full year before the film’s release and by the time KoTM hit theaters all the hype that trailer generated had largely dissipated), so hopefully at least in that regard Legendary learns their lesson (and hopefully all the others too, but that’s besides the point) and goes for a short but hard-hitting and effective marketing campaign for GvK

I feel like this KOTM is gonna become a cult film later on in time.

Me too, it certainly has a lot to love about it. From the soundtracks to the visuals.

Just like Freddy Got Fingered

FINALLY! I HAVE AN EXCUSE TO USE THIS STUPID CLIP!

Ya I was in that thread frequently and I don't remember anyone predicting under $400 million WW. I could be wrong but there seemed to he an expectation that it would do at least G14 business

There were one or two people IIRC (LegendZilla was one) but a deal of it seemed like arbitrary pessimism, at least at the time

[miguelnuva]

You can make box off predictions now for Godzilla vs Kong if you want it's a prediction and none of us are officials to my knowledge. Just don't get mad and attack others when your predictions don't come to past.

[BlankAccount]

I'm gonna be honest, when you guys were saying Aladdin was gonna fail or whatever, I wanted to ask what the fuck you guys were smoking, not because it looked good but because it's a Disney film. I just kept my mouth shut cause I'm sick of fighting with fans instead of talking with fans.

Agreed. It seems like these last few entries (G14, Shin G, Anime Trilogy, and KOTM) have kinda torn the fandom down the middle more than usual. I got my opinions on all of them, both positive and negative, but I'm sick of people either giving NO credit to one of these films or giving TOO MUCH credit to any of them. I admit I'm not immune to this, but this infighting among fans has really gotten old.

[Gigantis]

My only problem with G-Fans now is that some of them just can't let their hate boner for the critics go. So what if KOTM got a low score? Critics get beloved films low score's all the time! I can't really remember anything bad with 14 (most just complained about Godzilla's screentime but that was honestly minor),Shin got hate because of how bizzare the film was yet is getting praised as one of the best films nowadays so I think that issue resolved itself. The Anime Trilogy ...just speaks for itself.
