(Los Angeles) Joining force will have succeeded again: the two creatures of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire remained at the top of the North American box office for their second week in theaters, according to estimates on Sunday from specialist firm Exhibitor Relations.
The feature film, which sees the huge reptile and the famous gorilla fighting side by side, grossed $31.7 million this weekend in the United States and Canada, according to these figures.
In second place is the action film Monkey Man, with 10 million revenues. The film is directed by Dev Patel, the British actor of Indian origin known for his breakout role in Slumdog Millionaire.
