So I'm guessing these films still make a decent profit to be still making them. The last one was so bad, it honestly looked worse than the first one, when you could see shit, not like there was much to see in the sequel either, it looked really bad and cheap.

Godzilla (2014) and Kong: Skull Island both made well over $500MM each on around $150MM budgets a piece.
KOTM was the weakest take so far (somewhere in the $400MM range), but still more than doubled up its budget.
It'll at the very least, get this sequel, but this leg of the franchise is fading.

Well that's unexpected.Wonder how it will actually appear on film and the justification for it existing at all.

Oh, I didn't know this exist! Modern version is way better, though.

Just give me some day time scuffles. Kong is a mammal after all, it'll be easier for him. With Rodan watching him fight Godzilla from above with a smirk.

It's a spoiler I guess, but this is something they would have definitely shown in the trailer. I'm more interested in seeing what the big bad they all team up against is going to be. Surely it's gonna be Destroyah.

Im so glad Dougherty's crazy vision seems to be still a part of the franchise going forward.

I love they are going out in style, this is probably going to be the last film but is going to be glorious.

I fuuuucking hate this design so much ughhh. Oh well since this'll probably be the last one at least they're going out with a bang!

Also why in the hell are people saying the stinger to KOTM hinted at this? That was a Ghidorah head. If anything, it hinted at Mecha King Ghidorah. There is no reason whatsoever to connect Mecha Godzilla from that. If anything MKG is the stop gap before Mecha Godzilla since MKG is still partially organic while MG is 100% robot, the assumption should have been that MKG was next with a MG to follow if they made it that far with the movies.

Because photography at events like these are strickly prohibited so what you're seeing are pictures people take by sliding their phone out of their pocket or sleeve to quickly try and get a picture without being seen.

There's still a chance Mecha's not in the movie. Plenty of tie-in toys are just extra stuff not in movies.

There is absolutely zero chance that they made merch like this for a character that isn't in the movie. It's one thing to have a Batman with New Hat and it's another thing entirely to have multiple figures in different scales of a character like this. Those little monsters on the left are more likely to not be in the movie than Mecha Godzilla. This isn't a Lego set where they have to invent vehicles to make building sets out of.

Not too crazy over the claw hands--other than that, great that we'll be getting Godzilla's 2nd iconic nemesis for this last movie.

Really hope this also means the reshoots will benefit the movie in this case--did not like what I read in the leaked script.

Not bad but I guess they were hoping for closer to a billion.

What's the saying for fool me a third time. I love Transformers.

Legitimately disappointed.

Mecha Godzilla has always been a corny concept in my eyes. Godzilla's always been larger than life with some wackiness but I liked the idea of the titans just being dormant ancient animals coming into conflict. This is going to be so damn cheesy lol.

To be fair, wasn't that the basic plot of GMK?

What are the odds that Mecha Godzilla starts off looking like regular Godzilla and it's just wrecking havoc and so Kong goes after him?

I was expecting the other monster to be Mechagodzilla or Mecha-King Ghidorah, so not that shocked.

Mechagodzilla is probably a good choice though, being a very popular Godzilla monster. Hopefully they keep all the crazy, over the top firepower it had in the old movies.

Looking forward to this movie a lot. If they can get the action right (don't cut away from the fights too much and not have all the fights in darkness) this could be a hell of a monster smackdown.

KOTM was a pretty big letdown for me. They didn't really fix any of 14's problems.

I came out of it significantly less amped for future helpings.

So, this has way more spoilers beyond the obvious one. Mechagodzilla, Burning Godzilla, the lizards from Kong, and some kind of hooded cobra or wing at the top left in that one picture?

" massive spoiler " is a bit of a stretch, Mechagodzilla was telegraphed in the post credits of the last movie.

They showed more of the monster fighting, so that was a fix from the 14 movie. It added it's own problems though, so it was far from perfect but I still enjoyed it.

For me, Kong: Skull Island is most well balanced film in the series so far. Hopefully they take a lot from that with this new film.

the choreography for the fights and most of the fights themselves are pretty disappointing too. 2014 had a much better sense of build up and action when fighting happened.

That's not Burning Godzilla. It's Godzilla wearing some weird harness thing. Also I hope they don't bring back Burning Godzilla, another one of those "look we know Godzilla" moments that wastes something actually interesting.

The post credits of the last movie hinted at Mecha King Ghidorah, where are people getting Mecha Godzilla from? It seems like only you and two other people in this thread were able to pick up on anything hinting at Mecha Godzilla, what'd I miss?

It's a shame Gareth Edwards didn't director again, he's clearly a better director. He really captured the scale of the monsters perfectly in the 14 movie.

KotM definitely wasn't as good in that department but I can't say I didn't enjoy all the fights and action, because I still had a blast watching it.

Aye. So my line of thinking after that scene was either Mecha Ghidorah by using the remains shown in the scene or they would use the remains plus Godzilla DNA to create Mecha Godzilla.

Either way I am hype.

I wonder if it's supposed to be the "Godzilla skin" that MG wears before being exposed, similar to the original.

Ahh ok, I saw it a week or two after it came out so I'd read about disappointing BO numbers and shit, and when I saw the stinger my thought process went "Oh shit, Mecha King Ghidorah? Is that gonna be the bad guy that he and Kong team up against? But they'd have to improve their tech like crazy so it would probably be the bad guy AFTER KvG and we probably aren't gonna get anymore movies since this one isn't doing well so it'll just be a tease that never gets to go anywhere ):"

I legitimately NEVER would have guessed they were going to do Mecha Godzilla in this series of movies since they started off so grounded. Even MKG would be pushing it but he's only part robot so they could have fudged it a bit I guess. If anything MKG would have been the stepping stone to Mecha Godzilla but it looks like they're just going all out for the finale.

Enough about Mechagodizlla, what is that shit on Godzilla's back? Is burning Godzilla back or is that like some sort of life form attached. Boxed is too blurred to read but it is a Godzilla vs Kong box

Screenrant actually had a really good article about the Monsterverse a couple of days ago as well:

Your numbers aren't quite that accurate but not far off. From my understanding, profit for movies really comes into play after you make back double your budget. The budget counts for the movie but doesn't factor in the ad campaigns and such. Plus obviously theaters take a chunk of the profits as well. KotM was...not a success but not a total failure, either. I read blu-ray sales have been really good, though.

Godzilla 2014 - Budget: 160m Worldwide Gross: 524m
Kong: Skull Island - Budget 185m Worldwide Gross: 566m
King of the Monsters - Budget 170m-200m Worldwide: 385m

As for the leaks...not a fan of the design but not dismissing it until I see real pictures and not some cheap toys. I hope they use the skeleton of another of Godzilla's species, though. I totally still expect Ghidorah to be in it, too.

I imagine it going:
Kong vs Mecha (in Godzilla costume) - Kong loses but exposes it
Godzilla shows up and wins against Mechagodzilla but he escapes somehow
Ghidorah shows up with it's own Mecha parts and beats Godzilla
Kong and Godzilla team up against Ghidorah and struggle.
Mecha Godzilla changes sides and it sacrifices itself in some Millennium Kiryu sorcery
I'm totally wrong but that's my imagination running wild

Hideous design, but all the designs after the first Mechagodzilla have been terrible so this is nothing new for the character.
