Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is set to stream on Max starting July 4.
Directed by Grant Sputore and written by David Callaham, the film has already made a significant impact at the box office. As of now, it stands as the highest-grossing MonsterVerse movie in franchise history, with a staggering $567 million worldwide, trailing only behind Dune: Part Two ($711 million) and Inside Out 2 ($799 million).
The longevity of the Godzilla franchise, which spans nearly 70 years and numerous films, continues to captivate audiences through epic monster battles. The upcoming film maintains this legacy, promising to delight fans with new and intense confrontations.
The anticipation for this release is evident as the movie surpassed all digital purchase charts shortly after being available from May 14. Its theatrical run solidified its position not only within the franchise but also in this year’s top-grossing movies.
A highlight from the production team emphasizes a streamlined vision for the project. As director Takashi Yamazaki explained:
When I’m the director and the supervisor and I have this vision in my head that is so solid, it eliminates the need for outsourcing and saying, ‘Oh, that’s not what we thought we were going to get.’
Kudos also go to the visual effects team, who brought grand and immersive scenes to life. With a budget considerably lower than giant blockbusters yet achieving high-caliber impacts, similar to Godzilla Minus One’s applauded visual effects.
This latest entry into the series offers fans everything eager for colossal duels would anticipate. Yet, even amid these smashing hits, there are still moments interlaced with more nuanced storytelling.
