After their infamous public feud, Godzilla studio Legendary Pictures has inked a new deal with Sony, moving them away from Warner Bros.
Legendary Entertainment, the studio behind hit science fiction films like Dune and the Godzilla-focused MonsterVerse, have cut ties with Warner Bros. and entered a film distribution deal with Sony Pictures. Legendary has found major success in their major franchises over the last few years, with such films as Dune and Godzilla vs. Kong garnering major box office success, despite being released during the Covid-19 pandemic.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Legendary Entertainment has announced they are taking that potential to Sony, moving largely away from Warner Bros. in the process with a new deal. While select films like Dune: Part Two will still be distributed worldwide by WB, the rest of their other future film releases will be distributed and marketed by Sony instead.
Sony’s commitment to theatrical distribution aligns with our vision of how to best derive the most value for Legendary’s movies. The incredible slate of movies that Mary Parent has amassed are built for the theatrical experience, and we are excited about our partnership with Sony for this next phase of Legendary’s growth. We are also grateful to Warner Bros.
Luckily for Legendary, both of their 2021 films - Dune and Godzilla vs. Kong - were massive hits at the box office despite low performances that year because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Dune earned $401 million worldwide against a $165 million budget, while Godzilla vs. Kong garnered $468 million off an estimated $200 million budget.
What A Sony Partnership Means For Godzilla vs Kong 2 & Dune 2 As stated in the report, Dune: Part Two will still be distributed by Warner Bros. when the film comes out in late 2023. The untitled sequel to Godzilla vs. Kong was also planned to be distributed by Warner Bros., a distribution deal that will likely be honored even with the film slated for release in March 2024. While the effects of Legendary's shift away from their partnership with Warner Bros.
