Well, I think it's opening weekend...it will come in a number one. That is if it is marketed well. I've seen plenty of movies that had huge hype not do well. This comes out a week after Spiderman 2 and a week before the new Xmen movie. This could be both a blessing and a curse. Blessing: It's a break from superheroes. There are two Marvel films out this year before Godzilla. Both look like fun, mindless popcorn flicks. Godzilla will be a serious dark film that will allow people seeking a more mature movie the thing they need. The Curse: It's sandwhiched between two extremely profitable Marvel franchises. I mean no offense to whoever picked this date, but they need a good kick square between the balls. That's a dumb idea. Sandwhiched between two Marvel movies! Both of which are sequeals!!! That's not very good at all! Now, unless this film is marketed none what so ever, I think will do okay. If WB decides to take their thumbs out of their bums and market it, and market it well, it could be a fairly profitable success story for Big G. But of course, WB is being a baby about marketing it becasue it's the last collaberative film between them and Legendary Pictures.
Opening weekend forecast:
Bad Marketing: 25-30 Million
Okay Marketing: 35-45 Million
Good Marketing: 50-65 Million
Great Marketing (including intense viral marketing that grabs attention): 65-75 Million
Long Term Domestic Box Office Haul:
Bad Marketing: 75-90 Million
Okay Marketing: 85-105 Million
Good Marketing: 90-115 Million
Great Marketing: 100-130 Million (130 is absolute TOPS)
INTERNATIONAL
There is where money will be made. If this film is marketed as being produced by the studio that brought you Pacific Rim, China will probably bring in alot of cash. Japan, as much as I hate to say this, will probably not impress. They lost faith in American Godzilla films after the disaster that Roland Emmerich gave us. Even Pacific Rim did poorly in Japan, and it was 100% new for them. (When I say new, I mean a new franchise involving Kaiju and Mecha.) UK ticket sales will probably be decent. Those are the main countries I look at.
Total International Haul (Whole world basically)
Bad Marketing: 150-180 Million
Okay Marketing: 175-190 Million
Good marketing: 215-240 Million
Great Marketing: 250-300 Million (300 Million is TOPS)
It pains me to talk of these low numbers for my favorite giant monster. I want to see this film succeed. I really do. I want more Godzilla. You can never have too much Godzilla! Never! But America has ruined Godzilla already (Thanks Emmerich, Devlin!) But, I may be wrong. This film may hit it out of the park and make upwards of 500+ Million! That would be amazing! I hope that happens, but I don't see it happening. Which is truly sad. WB and Legendary could change all that if they Market the hell out of this movie and let people see this is a serious take on Godzilla! We can only hope!

MemberMothra LarvaeJan-14-2014 4:36 PMWell im just gonna guess worldwide all time;
Godzilla will probably make more money in Japan of course, cuz of since its sooo popular over there right now, but in America, it depends on how many good advertisements it gets and all those stuff to make people unfamiliar to Godzilla to wanna go watch it.
So finally, and its my guess and study, cuz right now im looking at the all time worldwide box office, that by the time its not in theathers anymore, its probably gonna come somewhere at the 40THS PLACE, and will make probably about $800 MILLION DOLLARS.

MemberMothra LarvaeJan-14-2014 4:44 PMDRAGONLORD TEVIN, while an 800 Million dollar haul would be really amazing, I don't think the film will even come close to that high a gross. Godzilla's image was ruined by America back in 98, and also, that film was marketed like CRAZY. It still didn't do well. I'm trying to think realistically here, 500 Million is what I see as max.

MemberMothra LarvaeJan-14-2014 5:52 PMDomestic: 140-250 million. 3D sales, along with an aging (people taking their kids/grandkids) and avid fan base will do most of the work. If it's marketed well, it will see the top end on this.
Worldwide total: Around 360-550 million. Again, depends on marketing. I can't see this movie being a flop, but a moderate success seems likely. I know I will be doing my part.
With a budget of 160 million, it's probably going to need a little over twice that to warrent a sequel.
P.S. I really hope I'm wrong, and it blows my expectations out of the water.

MemberMothra LarvaeJan-17-2014 2:35 PMI think with how much money this film costs to make, it's going to be marketed very well. I'm sure the companies sees the potiental in the Godzilla Series, there's a reason it's been around for going on 60 years. Not to mnetion all the toys and merch that'll be created
