According to Deadline, John Wick 3 is expected to have another 55% + decline this weekend. I didn't expect it to be so frontloaded.

That Godzilla gross is quite a drop from the 2014 film. Yikes.
Pretty much agree.I can't speak for anyone else, but the 2014 film didn't do anything to make me want to buy a ticket to see a second installment. I saw the 2014 film opening night in IMAX 3D and was underwhelmed. Gave the 3D disc a try a year or two later to give it a second chance, and had the same reaction. In a perfect world with unlimited free time, I wouldn't be opposed to seeing it, but it wasn't any kind of a priority for me and I haven't had nearly as much free time this year as I've had in prior years.
Where it’s not doing too well either.. They'll be hoping for bigger international numbers for this one.

Close to break even?
Mojo says Aladdin actually beat Godzilla today (Sunday).
Godzilla need about $500 million WW to break even.
Gonna be tough.
Hard as it is to believe, Roland Emmerich’s 1998 version of Godzilla is the most successful after adjusting for inflation.

With an approximate 2x breakeven in 1998 and a Budget Of $130 million, Godzilla was over $100 million in the Black in 1998 dollars.
$379,000,000 in 1998 →$594,188,294.48 in 2019
Today’s films are more extensively and expensively promoted than films were 21 years ago. Today’s films require 2-3x multipliers to breakeven depending on the size of the film.Curious - why do you say a 2x breakeven for 1998 film but a 3x breakeven for today's film?
My recollection of Godzilla 1998 was that it was a box office disappointment and that planned sequels were shelved. Why would they do that if it made over $100m profit?
These are real questions, you seem to know a lot about this.
