"Godzilla" On Track To Make $97 Million This Weekend

The King has completely stomped the competition at the box office this weekend.

Entertainment Weekly has reported the following:

The King of the Monsters took the box office crown on Friday. Godzilla, starring Bryan Cranston, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and a few enormous radioactive monsters, earned an estimated $38.5 million in theaters on its first day in theaters — the best opening day yet for 2014. (Captain America: The Winter Soldier opened with $36.9 million last month, while The Amazing Spider-Man 2 took in $35.2 on its first day two weeks ago.) That puts the film on track for an opening-weekend total around $97 million.

That is impressive! I was discussing the box office results with an executive with Toho earlier and his thoughts were:

 $98 mil., $92 mil. or otherwise, it will be an admirable opening weekend. I hope we can reprise it in Japan.
