Monster weekend for ‘Godzilla vs Kong’ raises hopes for Hollywood

Ticket sales show pent-up demand for blockbusters as Warner Bros scores biggest US hit of the pandemic

Hollywood executives had hoped the franchise film, in which the oversized sea monster battles with the giant ape, could make between $20m and $30m. Godzilla vs Kong brought in $32m over the weekend and $48.5m during the extended five-day Easter holiday period.
