Warner Bros. says Godzilla, Kong, will fight it out two months early

Godzilla and King Kong seem very eager to settle their longstanding grudge.

Warner Bros. says its “Godzilla vs. Kong” mega-monster mash-up will be released March 26, two months ahead of schedule.

The flick will premiere simultaneously in theaters and on the streaming service HBO Max, Variety reports.

The movie cost $160 million, making profitability a longshot, given the pandemic-related closing of theaters, the outlet noted.

In December, Warner Bros. tested out the hybrid, theater-and-streaming release of “Wonder Woman 1984;” that movie cost $200 million to make but has only recouped $132 million, Variety noted.
