Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire has earned the franchise its best opening weekend in 10 years. The new movie is the fifth theatrical installment in the Monsterverse, which features new original human characters alongside monsters from the Japanese Godzilla franchise and the American King Kong franchise. Directed by Adam Wingard, it follows the titular titans as they must band together once again after defeating Mechagodzilla in 2021 when an even more powerful new threat emerges from the Hollow Earth.
