VIDEO : Box Office King? Kong: Skull Island

The arrival of Kong: Skull Island in U.S. theaters marked one of the first big-budget box office battles of 2017. The latest reboot of the iconic King Kong franchise has a lot riding on it, as it is expected to lead into a new monster movie franchise featuring Kong and Godzilla. However, Skull Island had James Mangold?s Logan standing in its way. Kong: Skull Island, which pits stars Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson, and Brie Larson against the titular ape and many other monsters, was reportedly made for $185 million.
