While Godzilla vs. Kong is still a couple of days away from debuting in the USA, the movie takes a monstrous start in mainland Chinese cinemas on Friday (March 26). According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Adam Wingard directorial debuted with a huge $21.5 million gross on Friday.

The sequel to Godzilla: King of the Monsters, the new film is slightly ahead of its predecessor, which earned $20.9 million on its first day in 2019, before finishing the weekend with $70.6 million, The Hollywood Reporter reports.

As per early estimates, Godzilla vs. Kong earned around $28 million on its second day and eyeing around $80 million on its first weekend in mainland China. Local word of mouth for this monster film is currently looking strong, with the film scoring 9/10 on ticketing apps Maoyan and Taopiaopiao, and 7.1 on reviews site Douban — solid numbers for a Hollywood tentpole.

Meanwhile, the Hollywood biggie released in India on March 24, two days earlier than its originally scheduled date.
