Industry tracking estimates from Box Office Theory ($24-33M) and Boxoffice Pro ($25-35M), combined with strong Thursday previews of $6.7M and a $14.5M Friday, have driven the market-implied odds toward the 31-34M range as the clear frontrunner at 54.5% probability. The sequel benefits from substantial goodwill from the Oscar-winning *Godzilla Minus One*’s $57M domestic run, plus robust critical reception (around 90% on Rotten Tomatoes) and an A CinemaScore that support premium large-format play. Limited direct competition this frame further reinforces trader consensus around this midpoint, though final Sunday business could still nudge results into the adjacent 28-31M band.
