IMAX screens accounted for 9.3% of the overall weekend box office domestically. Notably, many capacity restrictions including the 25% limit in <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span> are planned to be eased in the coming weeks.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>The film continued its success globally, earning another <span class=\"xn-money\">$6.5 million<\/span> since Wednesday in <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span> while reaching a 10-day cume of <span class=\"xn-money\">$18 million<\/span>, over 13% of the nationwide box office and the highest 10-day cume of the Godzilla and Kong franchise ever for IMAX in <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span>. The <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span> cume to-date is already nearly double the final IMAX China box office for &#8220;Kong: Skull Island&#8221; and &#8220;Godzilla: King of the Monsters&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The impressive results follow a pandemic-best opening internationally for the film last week, with some markets increasing their IMAX box office over last weekend&#8217;s openings. IMAX has earned <span class=\"xn-money\">$28 million<\/span> across all markets globally for the film to-date, 10% of the overall total.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Godzilla vs. Kong&#8221; will continue its run in IMAX through <span class=\"xn-chron\">April 21<\/span> in domestic markets and mid-to-late April in most international markets including <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span>, with openings in <span class=\"xn-location\">Brazil<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Japan<\/span>, scheduled for <span class=\"xn-chron\">April 29<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-chron\">May 14<\/span>, respectively. <\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>About IMAX Corporation<br \/><\/b>IMAX, an innovator in entertainment technology, combines proprietary software, architecture and equipment to create experiences that take you beyond the edge of your seat to a world you&#8217;ve never imagined.
