Warner Bros and Legendary’s Kong: Skull Island delivered a strong opening weekend performance, topping the weekend box office and becoming the third film in as many weeks to outperform expectations. The film opened to $61 million which allowed it to beat tracking estimates that had it pegged for an opening in the $45-50 million range.

This is, however, well behind the $93.1 million Godzilla opened within 2014 before going on to gross $200.7 million domestically. Opening weekend audiences gave Skull Island a “B+” CinemaScore, matching the score for Godzilla. Of that audience, they were 56% male vs. 44% female, of which 18% were under the age of 18 and 52% were under the age of 35. Audience members under the age of 25 gave the film an “A” CinemaScore. Looking ahead, a domestic performance anywhere from $160-170 million seems reasonable but that means international numbers are going to need to be a big factor in order to recoup its hefty $185 million budget.

While Skull Island may have fallen a bit short of Godzilla domestically, it is outperforming the radioactive lizard in some international markets where it debuted to an estimated $81.6 million in 65 territories for a $142.6 million worldwide debut. International highlights include an estimated $7.6 million opening in the UK (17% ahead of Godzilla); $7.3 million opening in Korea (90% ahead of Godzilla); $6 million in Russia (16% over Godzilla); $5.6 million in Mexico (on par with Godzilla); $4 million in France; $3.6 million in Taiwan; $3.5 million in Australia and $3 million in Germany. Upcoming releases include a March 24 opening in China and March 25 opening in Japan, both of which will be very interesting.

Last week’s number one champ, Logan, falls to second with an estimated $37.85 million. I thought the film was going to hold a bit better considering the positive word of mouth and solid weekday numbers but this is still a solid result for the R-rated superhero film. Of the three standalone Wolverine films, this is already the second largest grossing and only needs $27.2 million to top 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The current domestic tally stands at $152.6 million after a second-week drop of 57.2%. Internationally Logan currently stands as the #1 release of 2017 after taking in an estimated $70.3 million from 79 markets this weekend for an international total of $285.6 million and a worldwide gross of $438.3 million making it the highest grossing worldwide release among the three standalone Wolverine releases. Logan hits theaters in Japan on June 1.

Universal and Blumhouse’s Get Out finished third this weekend, once again outperforming expectations as it dropped just 25.4% for an estimated $21 million for a domestic gross that now stands at $111 million. Coming up with comparisons for Jordan Peele’s breakout thriller is near-impossible as its week-over-week performance is mind-blowing as it is already Blumhouse Productions’ second highest grossing release of all-time and showing absolutely no signs of stopping. Keep in mind this a film that cost a mere $4.5 million to make.
