12 Huge Movies That IT Destroyed At The Box Office
6. Kong: Skull Island
Box Office: $566.6 million
Though Kong's latest outing was an utterly mediocre blockbuster film you've probably already forgotten, it played broadly enough across a wide enough audience range that it easily crossed the half-billion mark and currently sits as the twelfth highest-grossing movie of 2017.
A generic blockbuster getting beaten out by a brutal R-rated horror movie starring mostly little-known actors and featuring extremely sensitive subject matter isn't something you hear every day, as It recently barrelled past Kong to claim the #10 spot for 2017's movies.
It'll be interesting to see how It: Chapter Two will perform compared to both Godzilla: King of Monsters and Godzilla vs. Kong, with Pennywise's return releasing almost exactly in-between the two blockbusters. Will the MonsterVerse have its revenge, or will Penny make it 3-0?
