‘Godzilla x Kong' sequel titled ‘Supernova', production begins
The titans are back—Godzilla x Kong is officially getting a sequel, and it now has a name: Godzilla x Kong: Supernova. Warner Bros. and Legendary confirmed the title Friday and released a teaser to mark the beginning of production. The sixth film in the MonsterVerse franchise is scheduled to hit theaters on March 26, 2027.
Supernova will be directed by Grant Sputore, known for the sci-fi thriller I Am Mother, and is based on a screenplay by David Callaham and Michael Lloyd Green. Plot details remain tightly guarded, but the film is expected to feature a new wave of human characters as Godzilla and Kong team up — or face off — against a cataclysmic threat with world-ending consequences.
Returning to the cast is Dan Stevens, reprising his role as Trapper, the eccentric monster dentist introduced in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. He'll be joined by Kaitlyn Dever, Jack O'Connell, Matthew Modine, Delroy Lindo, Alycia Debnam-Carey, and Sam Neill. Mary Parent and Thomas Tull return as producers.
The previous film, The New Empire, directed by Adam Wingard, earned over $570 million worldwide. The franchise began with 2014's Godzilla and has since grown into a multi-film saga filled with evolving lore.
In addition to the films, the MonsterVerse also extends to the small screen with Apple TV+'s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, which has been renewed for a second season. The show stars Anna Sawai, Kiersey Clemons, and both Wyatt and Kurt Russell as different versions of the same character, Lee Shaw.

Box Office: F1 takes a promising start domestically on preview Thursday; Crushes India predictions but gets subdued response in China
Brad Pitt led F1, directed by Joseph Kosinski is buzzing, thanks to terrific reviews all across the board. The movie has started strong at the domestic box office by amassing little over USD 10 million from Thursday previews, which also includes paid fan screenings. This has set the movie up beautifully for a USD 55-65 million weekend. With very positive reception, we can expect the racing film to leg to USD 200 million, despite some stiff rivals in the form of Jurassic World Rebirth and Superman in the coming weeks. F1 Takes A Solid Start In North America; Movie Crushes Predictions In India But Not In China Internationally, the opening of F1 has been a mixed bag. In India, F1 has taken among the best starts for a non-IP Hollywood movie in India. As per early estimates, the movie's numbers are over Rs 5 crore net. It may even be Rs 6 crore but that shall be known by tomorrow when the final numbers come from all chains. This is an impressive number given the fact that the movie is sharing screenspace with big Indian movies - Sitaare Zameen Par, Maa and Kannappa. A weekend of Rs 20 crore net is on the cards and a Final Destination: Bloodlines like trend should propel this Brad Pitt movie to over Rs 60 crore net. In China, F1 has only grossed USD 2.6 million in two days. USD 900k came on Thursday while USD 1.7 million has come on Friday. The weekend of the movie looks to be around USD 7 million, strictly based on its positive reception. It is the third most preferred movie option of the weekend, below Detective Conan 28 and She's Got No Name. F1 Is A Pricey Movie And Needs Around USD 500 Million To Breakeven Theatrically Made at a production budget of over USD 200 million, the racing movie needs USD 500 million atleast for a theatrical breakeven. There's a lot of work required to get to this number but with the start, the movie may just fancy getting to that number. It is already projected to be Apple TV's biggest weekend opener, so that's a good note to open with. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates on F1.

Warner Bros. Furious As F1 Gets Fewer Screens Than Sitaare Zameen Par
Last Updated: Warner Bros. has sent a warning to the Indian multiplex chain, demanding fair screen allocations for F1 and its upcoming releases. Things are heating up between Warner Bros. and PVR Inox, India's largest multiplex chain and also a leading distributor, over the number of shows for F1 The Movie. The American studio has accused the multiplex chain of favouring Bollywood movies over Hollywood ones. With Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par running successfully in theatres since June 20, and Kajol's mythological horror film, Maa, set to hit theatres on June 27, the sports drama F1 is struggling to secure a sufficient number of shows in Indian theatres. F1 The Movie is one of the highly anticipated films of 2025. Starring Brad Pitt as the lead, it is a high-octane racing drama that has already impressed critics and fans alike. Set to be released on June 27, it currently has an over 90 per cent critic score. Despite all the buzz, F1 is struggling to secure enough screens and prime-time slots, which PVR Inox has given to Sitaare Zameen Par. According to reports, Warner Bros. has sent a warning to the Indian multiplex chain, demanding fair screen allocations for F1 and its upcoming releases. They have also threatened to pull out films from the chain if they fail to do so. A source told Bollywood Hungama, 'Warner felt that they were getting unfair treatment. They also got a sense that PVR Inox was giving them a raw deal and giving preference to Sitaare Zameen Par and Maa, films which are distributed by PVR Inox Pictures." Warner Bros. is trying to get more screens for Brad Pitt's sports drama by using its upcoming, much-awaited films like Jurassic World Rebirth and Superman as bait. The American studio has reportedly warned PVR Inox that if it does not allocate the required shows for F1, it will skip the multiplex chain completely for its new releases. But things are easier said than done. Because PVR Inox is the leading multiplex chain in India, Warner Bros. cannot afford to skip it altogether. This isn't the first time that screen allocation has caused a stir. PVR Inox often prefers big, star-driven Indian films over Hollywood ones, despite the buzz surrounding those. With numerous highly anticipated releases on June 27 and in the following weeks, a few films are likely to receive fewer screens. From PVR Inox's point of view, Sitaare Zameen Par is generating good revenue, so it made sense to allocate more screens to it. However, if F1 manages to draw a crowd, the chain will likely add more prime-time slots. For now, negotiations are ongoing, with no resolution announced yet. First Published:
