Godzilla x Kong extended its monstrous reign over the North American box office for a second weekend, according to estimates Sunday from industry watcher Exhibitor Relations. The feature, which sees the enormous gorilla and reptilian giant set their differences aside and team up to save their species - and ours - took in $31.7 million over the weekend in the United States and Canada, according to the figures. In second place with an estimated $10 million in ticket sales was action film Monkey Man, which British actor Dev Patel both directs and stars in.
The thriller, set in India, is "ultra-violent, driven by class differences, corruption and personal vengeance," said analyst David A. Gross.
"Foreign stories do not always work in North America; it's working here," he wrote, adding: "it's going to be very profitable." In third place was Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, which took in $9 million.
