Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire has been taking over the box office around the world, and the newest update has clinched its spot as the currently second highest grossing film in the MonsterVerse! Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire has been doing very well for itself ever since it first hit theaters earlier this Spring, and that success has only continued even further thanks to its release across international territories. Still making bank at the box office as of this latest weekend, it turns out that it's now become one of the most successful MonsterVerse releases yet and might even go on to be the most successful.  

According to the newest update from Box Office Mojo, the current international box office total for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is now up to an estimated $358,800,000 million, bringing the current worldwide estimated total to $546,867,009 million USD. This makes it second to Kong: Skull Island (which is currently on $568,652,812 million USD) and surpassing Godzilla 2014's $524,976,069 million USD. There's a chance that Godzilla x Kong will surpass this total to become the highest grossing MonsterVerse film before long if this success continues.
