"Godzilla" Presumably Made $500 Million Worldwide

Godzilla apparently did well enough in Japan for Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures to break open the champagne bottles.

Film Business Asia reported:

Hollywood executives can breathe a sigh of relief as reboot Godzilla stomped to the top of the Japan box office over the weekend. 

Opening on Friday, the Gareth EDWARDS film made ¥684 million (US$6.7 million) from 427 screens on its first three days in cinemas, including ¥508 million (US$4.98 million) from 339,000 admissions on Saturday and Sunday.

Some websites, such as Forbes.com, are "presuming" that Godzilla has already passed the $500 million mark in earnings worldwide. Thus far, I haven't seen anything officially stating such.
