The latest box office numbers are in, and Godzilla: King of the Monsters was No. 1. It made an estimated $49 million in the United States and Canada to come out on top in its debut weekend. That is a massive number, but it was slightly below industry projections of $50 million, according to Entertainment Weekly, which supplied all the box office numbers.

　　Additionally, the $49 million start is well below the movies that it serves as a sequel to. 2014's Godzilla made $93.2 million over its opening weekend, while 2016's Kong: Skull Island--which is in the same MonsterVerse--debuted with $61 million over its first weekend.
