‘Godzilla’ brought in a monstrous $93.2 million to the weekend box office, topping the chart and even bumping ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ from the ranking of second biggest debut film of the year. ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ continues to hold the top spot with $95 million.
Over 51 percent of revenue generated for ‘Godzilla’ came from its 3D and IMAX screenings. The film offered scenes of destruction to major cities – buildings, subways and more!
Taking second place at the weekend box office was ‘Neighbors,’ bringing in an additional $26 million on its second week out.
‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ came in third place at the weekend box office with an additional $16.8 million for its third week out.
New release this weekend, ‘Million Dollar Arm’ took fourth place at the weekend box office with a disappointing $10.5 million.
