Godzilla vs Kong, pandemic record and signal return to the hall

(ANSA) - ROME, APRIL 04 - The box office march of "Godzilla vs. Kong" continues: the record is updated: in its first five days of release it reached 48.5 million dollars at the US box office, undoubtedly the most great debut since the beginning of the pandemic. Prior to this weekend, "Wonder Woman 1984" had its biggest start in the first three days with $ 16.7 million, followed by "Tom and Jerry" with $ 14 million. But beyond the comparisons the discriminating thing is that the big movie about monsters is making these millions of dollars at the moment in which it is also available at the same time to HBO Max subscribers for more at no additional cost (which instead will happen to Disney + on July 9th with Black Widow. ) In short, the success raises questions about the increasingly pale meaning of the so-called 'windows' (the time between the hall and other uses) but above all it gives exhibitors hope on the return of the public to the hall after more than a year of watching films from the sofa from a streaming platform. In Italy Warner announced it "for 2021". (HANDLE).
