It's a showdown of epic proportions at the box office this weekend, with a clash of primates and a dose of classic horror. Legendary Entertainment and Warner Bros.' latest offering, 'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire,' continues to dominate the domestic charts, fending off the debuts of Universal's action-packed 'Monkey Man' and 20th Century Studios' horror revival 'The First Omen.'
Despite facing stiff competition, 'The New Empire' managed to secure the top spot with an $8.5 million haul on Friday, marking a 77% drop from its opening day performance. The film is expected to experience a significant decline of over 60% throughout the weekend, highlighting the tough competition it faced. In contrast, 'Dune: Part Two' saw a much milder 44% drop in its second weekend.
