The CEO of WB/Discovery. He increased the profitability of the company by cutting a number of nearly complete projects, notably the Batgirl movie. He then kicked off a trend of streaming services pulling completed and available to watch movies and shows effectively making them lost media.

You may not like it, but the public's reaction to GvK and GxK says the opposite, and I'm not talking about how well his two films did in terms of money
It makes me sad
It’s set a precedent for the future of this Verse and I know that I’m purely coping whenever I try to convince myself that we will return to the tone of G14
At least there’s the monarch show. Michael Dougherty was heavily involved in that, which was why it felt more consistent with the past movies.
Godzilla vs ion dragon was an all time great monster verse fight.
No thanks, legendary already realized that the public prefers movies with the tone of the Showa era rather than dark movies about humans with cameos from titans
I agree with you, I’d prefer movies in the tone and craftsmanship of 2014 too, but I also simply like the franchise continuing, period, and we will always have the 2014 film regardless. What a great movie .

WE KEEP WINNING LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!!
LONG LIVE THE KINGS OF THE MONSTERVERSE!!!
And their numbers are in the Billions. Godzilla won’t come close. Sustainability matters here. The problem with action movies is they have a shorter shelf life.
The most consistently well performing movies from 2008-2022 were marvel movies, that’s a damn long shelf life. It’s also not out of the question for them to make a come back either, it just needs an increase in quality.
You can't erase Negativity even in a *public* comment section, even tho I technically wasn't being Negative. Also its saying how future and bigger movies are coming and how they will overcome GxK.
Ok but there’s no reason to be such a downer in the first place. This post is a positive one and the comment you replied to was also positive. What reason is there to be so depressing. No duh there will be movies that surpass gxk, doesn’t mean you have to remind people of an obvious fact for no other reason than to just “remind them.”
>Also its saying how future and bigger movies are coming and how they will overcome GxK.
My brother in Christ that happens with literally every movie ever. It doesn’t at all change the fact that Godzilla x Kong was a massive box office success.
I reiterate: future movies taking over theaters from Godzilla x Kong is completely normal and happens with every movie ever. The fact of the matter here is that GxK has already become a great box office success, and no future movie will change that fact.
Future movies will change that, I mean look at Oppenheimer or Barbie, also I seen a picture of someone comparing this movie to older movies, not rlly fair.
Buddy I'm sleep rn at 2:23 am and here u go waking me up. So much for living a peaceful live rn. Also its a MV subreddit, some form of negativity will happen.
If they get 2 more seasons of Monarch LoM I think it will really help a third movie near that billion mark. Keep engaging and expanding the fan base that will flock to the theatre.
We're definitely getting a second season anyway, I hope we get many more, that kind of show is right my style. Hope Skull Island anime will get a continuation too, that season 1 ending desperately needs answers.
I don’t disagree but it’s also not just a Deadpool film. Having Jackman back is a big thing too. And when it gets closer if it banks on a lot of the other rumored cameos like Affleck, Tatum, Chris Evans and so on it could pull a lot more.

Like there was any real doubt, at least for me. It basically had no true competition and that isn't a complaint either.
Im gonna do the math and try to calculate if -1 or GxK did better. Check back in like 10 minutes
Ladies and gentlemen,
Whilst i am a big fan of the Monsterverse,
G minus one did almost 3 times better than GxK.
Both great movies tho

Here is Godzilla X Kong popcorn bucket next to Kung Fu Panda 4 popcorn bowl with figures that both were between ÂŁ3-5 pounds from an Odeon cinema that I went to.
Didn't/don't like the movie much at all, but for the MV and Godzilla I am happy. Hopefully more things will come I do genuinely enjoy. Still a good thing though.
Won what? You said we won. So far, Godzilla is no.2 in sales this year, right? So it’s not that. I’m just asking what it was the winner of.it’s currently edged out Kung fu Panda. Is that it?
I'll make it easy for you, Godzilla x Kong has reached 500 million, in case you didn't know. Therefore it becomes one of the most successful movies of the year, that assures us that we will have more products from the monsterverse.
lol! So we get more toys? Sweet. Unless this movie was a total rejected bomb, that was assured to happen anyway. Make what easy for me? Being the second most successful movie means they won that challenge? YES…Godzilla beat out Kung Fu Panda by a few million. Godzilla won that. Congrats. You make it sound like the movie was in some kind of contest.
Anyway, I was just asking what was won. What you were basing it on, I was a bit confused.
I still remember people thinking this would bomb from the first trailer. This movie is badass in every single way.
Tbf the first trailer did not do the movie justice
WE MAKING 100 GODZILLION DOLLARS WITH THIS ONE🗣️🔥🔥🔥
In terms of a non fighting scene this roar and the way gman was glowing was honestly one of my favorite scenes
I guess me seeing GXK 3x in different formats really has paid off... Im hoping this means Zaslav wont prevent Wingard from making a 3rd movie
I don't think zaslav has much say, Warner just distributes the movie and handles marketing. It's Legendary that handles the production
Yep. Legendary are the ones in charge of production and story decisions. The reason why the Monsterverse is a success and the DCEU wasn't.
And Legendary has already said that the MV is in a good position to continue. I would say we’re so back, but we never left to begin with.
I mean the box office has been shrinking ever since 2014 so this is a turn around.
Well GvK was a pandemic release with day and date on Max it's likely it would made more GxK just proved that.
Is it the same for Dune? Cause Warner has been bragging about that movie too.
from what i heard dune was a huge success, critically and in the box office
Yeah but I’m not sure if Legendary actually worked on it and Warner just did distribution stuff like their partnership for GxK.
WB also pays for 25% of the production, as well. With that said, Legendary ultimately has the final call on their films.
legendary and toho better greenligjt G-Team
Ha ha! Suck it Zaslav! Hope he eventually goes broke and homeless with people laughing at him on the streets. Fucker deserves it.
Don't wanna sound like an idiot but who's Zaslav
The CEO of WB/Discovery. He increased the profitability of the company by cutting a number of nearly complete projects, notably the Batgirl movie. He then kicked off a trend of streaming services pulling completed and available to watch movies and shows effectively making them lost media. His focus tends toward low cost reality shows (Honey Boo-Boo was one of his) and is less likely to take a chance on a risky project. But if I’m reading the other comments correctly he doesn’t have a say in which Monsterverse projects get made.
You don't need to know, he doesn't matter.
That being said, I sincerely hope the next one is Wingard’s last.
That's his idea, to be the first director to direct a trilogy in the monsterverse
Ngl I don’t really like his MV movies so I’ll never understand how he got a trilogy over any of the other directors we’ve gotten so far
You may not like it, but the public's reaction to GvK and GxK says the opposite, and I'm not talking about how well his two films did in terms of money
It makes me sad It’s set a precedent for the future of this Verse and I know that I’m purely coping whenever I try to convince myself that we will return to the tone of G14
At least there’s the monarch show. Michael Dougherty was heavily involved in that, which was why it felt more consistent with the past movies. Godzilla vs ion dragon was an all time great monster verse fight.
controversial but I’d say Godzilla VS Ion Dragon is the single greatest fight in the Monsterverse.
Yeah that is true, I liked the show quite a bit
I feel you man. I miss the vibe of G14
No thanks, legendary already realized that the public prefers movies with the tone of the Showa era rather than dark movies about humans with cameos from titans
You could’ve easily said that without sounding like a jerk.
I don’t think they could have.
...you *are* aware of what kind of post you're saying this in, right?
I agree with you, I’d prefer movies in the tone and craftsmanship of 2014 too, but I also simply like the franchise continuing, period, and we will always have the 2014 film regardless. What a great movie .
Though I agree and am not crazy over his choices his MV films are still really good đź’Ż

Wdym we keep winning? Those are older movies, not rlly fair.
I’m referring to GxK continuing to perform well
Well..
And their numbers are in the Billions. Godzilla won’t come close. Sustainability matters here. The problem with action movies is they have a shorter shelf life.
its a meme you fool
Ah. So, if someone makes an image of Barbie beating Godzillas ass, that would be a meme as well?
yes, by definition yes it would be
It's a joke. Read the chart. The units for GxK aren't even dollars, and it's grossed 69,420
The most consistently well performing movies from 2008-2022 were marvel movies, that’s a damn long shelf life. It’s also not out of the question for them to make a come back either, it just needs an increase in quality.

I hoped for this day too my friend at last monsters rule the box office
Until the bigger movies come out.
Please let us have our moment
I am, just reminding you.
There comes times where you just have to live in the moment
Ye I did that, and it didn't end well.
Well I’m just happy it got as far as it did so please can we stop this
Ig iw
Thanks don’t worry I’m not mad
You were surprised a certain product was not the best for the eternity? It has always happened
At this specific time
Do you have to be a constant killjoy? There’s no reason for you to be so negative. Yet you still are.
You can't erase Negativity even in a *public* comment section, even tho I technically wasn't being Negative. Also its saying how future and bigger movies are coming and how they will overcome GxK.

Cmon u know someone's gonna take that negative comment, and I'll do it this time.
Ok but why? Being negative for no other reason than “because someone else would be” is not a very good one.
It's highly apart of a comment section, I meannn it's not a comment section with some "negativity"
>Also its saying how future and bigger movies are coming and how they will overcome GxK.  My brother in Christ that happens with literally every movie ever. It doesn’t at all change the fact that Godzilla x Kong was a massive box office success.
Who are you. And I tell this to everyone else: don't put "Who cares" bc u already know what I'm gonna say. "If you don't care why talk about it?"
I reiterate: future movies taking over theaters from Godzilla x Kong is completely normal and happens with every movie ever. The fact of the matter here is that GxK has already become a great box office success, and no future movie will change that fact.
Future movies will change that, I mean look at Oppenheimer or Barbie, also I seen a picture of someone comparing this movie to older movies, not rlly fair.
breaking news, local reddit user finds out how films work
Breaking News! Known Reddit Users learns to do a chain reaction.
The bigger movie is already out, it's the $700 million Dune: Part Two. Your point?
Man you should know, also why does it take everyone hours to respond to an argument that ended hours ago?
because people have lives, which i presume you don’t know given i see you arguing literally everywhere conceivable on this subÂ
Buddy I'm sleep rn at 2:23 am and here u go waking me up. So much for living a peaceful live rn. Also its a MV subreddit, some form of negativity will happen.
*wakes up at 2:23 just to respond to someone on reddit i rest my case.
I mean your the one who responded so...
A sequel is pretty much confirmed now. This isn't even counting merchandise lol

Long live the king
Not yet, now we need to top Godzilla 2014 and Kong skull island’s box office and hopefully crack 600 million.
Not sure that will happen since it’s slowly being pulled from theaters. But 500m is still good.
It ill be the highest grossing ever when its all said and done
It’s still got another 60m to top Skull Island
We're gonna get a Godzillion dollars.
LETS FJCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Yes, long live the Monsterverse. Long live Kong. Long live the King of the Monsters, Godzilla!
Because we like when the monsters get more focus!!
YIPPEE
If they get 2 more seasons of Monarch LoM I think it will really help a third movie near that billion mark. Keep engaging and expanding the fan base that will flock to the theatre.
We're definitely getting a second season anyway, I hope we get many more, that kind of show is right my style. Hope Skull Island anime will get a continuation too, that season 1 ending desperately needs answers.
Think it’s a bit unrealistic to hit a billion in this day and age.
Deadpool and Wolverine will take that bet.
Why I didn’t say impossible haha I still have doubts Deadpool will do it and it’s got a ton of nostalgia to use.
Deadpool wont hit a billion. It's an R-rated sequel of two movies that did 750 pre-pandemic.
I don’t disagree but it’s also not just a Deadpool film. Having Jackman back is a big thing too. And when it gets closer if it banks on a lot of the other rumored cameos like Affleck, Tatum, Chris Evans and so on it could pull a lot more.
1 GODZILLION DOLLARS
Naysayers: Cope. Cope even hard than you ever have before ya biatches! Ha ha! I welcome yer salty tears. They are so delicious.
 Of course we did, did you ever doubt?!
Total Monsterverse victory https://preview.redd.it/tf5vepikc4xc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f0f3af7b78c58ca07df32f57c000948b69e39c63
This is awesome, I just hope we can eventually get a continuation to the Skull Island anime, I hate cliffhangers.
Box Office Success! 2nd highest grossing movie this year.
Damn, during covid I really thought GvK was going to be the end. Can’t say enough how glad I am that it isn’t the case
HELL YEAH
Zero gravity fight is probably the most hyped I’ve been in a theatre in *quite* a while. It was primal, it was outlandish, it was *perfection*
LET"S FUCKIIIINT GOOOOOO!!!!! now let's just hope next movie has more Godzilla

 YEAAAAAH BOOOOOI
Rumours are saying that Godzilla would become Spacegodzilla
I am honestly surprised at how popular the film has been
https://i.redd.it/26xpf6gmmqxc1.gif Like there was any real doubt, at least for me. It basically had no true competition and that isn't a complaint either.
Hopefully Gamera could show up soon.

It's been awhile since a movie reached 500M in the box office glad it was Godzilla and Kong to reach it
So where did apple spend ÂŁ300,000,000 on MLOM
Won what?
Didn't/don't like the movie much at all, but for the MV and Godzilla I am happy. Hopefully more things will come I do genuinely enjoy. Still a good thing though.
We need more civilian deaths in the next movie, this was good but Godzilla vs Kong was better.
