Godzilla: King Of The Monsters

The big monster battle movie starring the Japanese superhero Godzilla fights its way to the top of the global box office this week, and does it with some ease.

Taking $179 million from 76 countries on its debut it may be at the top of the global box office but compared to the previous Godzilla movie released in 2014 it way below.

This pushes the film total global gross to $445.9 million after 2 weeks of release.

Rocketman

With the films release across more of the globe the Elton John fantasy bio-pic goes to number 3 with a weekend global take of $44.2 million having expanded to 41 countries.

The film now has a global total gross of $56.2 million, in comparison this is far below the second weekend gross of Bohemian Rhapsody.

Parasite

At number 4 this week is Chinese film Parasite which makes its global debut with $24.5 million from just 2 countries.

John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum

The third John Wick movie falls to number 4 this week with a gross of $23.8 million from 78 countries, this pushes the films total global gross to $221.6 million.
