...it was a flop.
In addition to just outright not making that much money (it's currently 14th on the charts for the year and will probably finish around 20), it was a sizable DOMESTIC flop, coming in at 17th on the year for domestic box office, and garnering a much bigger chunk of its box office from overseas than most of the movies above it. Only Hobbs & Shaw and Alita (and technically that one Chinese movie...but THEN AGAIN...TECHNICALLY all of that movie's profits are domestic...)
It flopped, it was a disappointment, and Legendary/WB's hesitation in doing anything thus far to promote Godzilla vs Kong shows that they're pretty much ready to just throw it out there and cut their losses.
