8 Recent Box Office Bombs That Could Still Get Sequels

4. Godzilla: King Of The Monsters

Star Wars Solo
Warner Bros

Budget: $170 million

Box Office: $384,887,894 (ongoing)

With box office receipts being just 2.26x (as of writing) its reported budget Godzilla: King of the Monsters can be considered a box office bomb, especially given the films large percentage of gross from China as studios receive less from China than other markets like the U.S.

Unlike the rest of the films on this list Godzilla: KOTM has a confirmed sequel, however that sequel is combined with the King Kong franchise in the form of 2020's Godzilla vs Kong and the prospect of a straight Godzilla: KOTM sequel seems small, especially considering production company Legendary lose rights to the character after Godzilla vs Kong.

Despite all this, a strong performance by the crossover title could save Godzilla's solo franchise as despite poor critical reception fans and audiences have responded well to Godzilla: KOTM suggesting there is a space for Godzilla films in this series to continue on our cinema screens.
