Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire<\/i> roared to the top of the North American box office on its debut weekend, pulverizing competition with a huge $80 million haul in ticket sales, according to industry watcher Exhibitor Relations. “The final numbers may change by Monday, but whatever they are, this is a fantastic opening,” analyst David A. Gross said, with ticket sales 2.5 times the average for a sequel to a monster flick.<\/p>\n

The enormous gorilla and reptilian giant set their differences aside in the movie, teaming up to save their species and humans in the latest MonsterVerse installment.<\/p>\n

In second place with an estimated $15.7 million was Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire<\/i>, co-written by Jason Reitman, whose father Ivan Reitman directed the original Ghostbusters<\/i> in 1984.<\/p>\n

The film teams a new cadre of ghost catchers (Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon) with the veterans (Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson) as they take on a frightening deity trying to launch a new Ice Age.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Warner Bros.’ sci-fi epic Dune: Part Two<\/i>, about war and survival on an inhospitable sand-covered planet, managed third place, taking in an estimated $11.1 million for the Friday-through-Sunday period.<\/p>\n

In fourth, dropping one spot from last weekend, was Universal and DreamWorks Animation’s martial arts comedy Kung Fu Panda 4<\/i>, at $10.2 million.<\/p>\n

Immaculate<\/i>, a new psychological horror film from indie studio Neon and starring Sydney Sweeney, placed fifth at $3.3 million.<\/p>\n

Rounding out the top 10 were:<\/p>\n

Tillu Square<\/i> ($2.5 million)<\/p>\n

Arthur the King<\/i> ($2.4 million)<\/p>\n

Late Night With the Devil<\/i> ($2.2 million)<\/p>\n

Crew<\/i> ($1.7 million)<\/p>\n

Imaginary<\/i> ($1.4 million)<\/p>\n
