Kong Closes On $500 Million, Already Has Biggest China WB Box Office

Kong: Skull Island is closing in on the $500 million mark worldwide, $477.4 million currently to be exact. Kong also hit $124 million in China, it has already surpassed Godzilla, Pacific Rim, Batman v Superman, Interstellar, and The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies there and this is only it's second weekend.

Kong's US total is just short of $150 million ($147.8) with it's international total at $329.5 million. Kong has also surpassed Godzilla 2014's international total which was $328.4 million. There is a good chance Kong may hit the $500 million mark by the end of this week and surpass Godzilla's total worldwide take by the end of next weekend.

Domestically Kong has been dropping off less than Godzilla did, in it's third week Kong beat Godzilla (by approx $3 million) despite Godzilla having started stronger.
