1998s Godzilla movie wasn't as big as Sony/TriStar wanted, but thanks to it tapping into the sizeable Jean Reno fanbase that endures to this day, it still managed to become the ninth biggest movie of 1998. Keeping in mind what singular element catapulted that film to such big numbers, it's no surprise to see Godzilla: King of the Monsters, which couldn't even spring for a Jean Reno cameo, to open to only $49 million, down a whopping 47% from the opening of the 2014 Godzilla movie and down 20% from the opening weekend of Kong: Skull Island. To put things into perspective, this opening is closer to the $16.2 million bow of Michale Dougherty's last movie Krampus than it is to the $93.1 million debut of the 2014 Godzilla movie.
