First off, if you haven't seen Godzilla yet, get off yer ass and get to it! It was a life-altering experience akin to a spiritual awakening!

That brings us to the latest news; Godzilla roared into theaters on Thursday night with a killer showing of $9.3 million from Thursday previews. That was added into the Friday gross of $38.5 million, which was on par with some of the other recent openers, but even with a slight drop on Saturday, it was still able to become the third movie to open with over $90 million in the past two months–following Captain America: The Winter Soldier and The Amazing Spider-Man 2–with an estimated $93.2 million take for the weekend.
