The latest remake of classic monster flick “Godzilla” stormed straight to the top of the global box office at the weekend, raising prospects of lucrative sequels to the Japanese dinosaur-like behemoth.
The movie, in which “Breaking Bad” star Bryan Cranston plays the tortured Japanese-speaking scientist battling to save humanity, scored a killer $93.2 million on its opening weekend in north America, and more than twice that globally.
The latest incarnation of the 1954 classic, which also stars Oscar-winning French actress Juliette Binoche as well as Britons Sally Hawkins and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, continues the original’s exploration of the threat of nuclear disasters.
