GODZILLA will end its run with around 31-32m in Japan. That's the highest grossing Godzilla film in Japan since GMKs 20m in 2001/2002.
GODZILLA will finish with about 520m Worldwide.
So, lets talk about GODZILLA 2 at the box office. I believe it'll end up being huge overseas, making 100-150 more than the first. In 3-4 years, Chinas market may end up being bigger than ours, and could easily make 150m there alone. Adding classic foes will help it in Japan and South Korea(which is as big a market as Japan).
The U.S will be interesting.. With inflation in 3-4 years it may end up with 200m, but I think it'll take a hit here making between 150-170. So Worldwide total I'm thinking like 600-650m for the sequel.
