Over 51 percent of revenue generated for ‘Godzilla’ came from its 3D and IMAX screenings. The film offered scenes of destruction to major cities – buildings, subways and more!

Taking second place at the weekend box office was ‘Neighbors,’ bringing in an additional $26 million on its second week out.

‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ came in third place at the weekend box office with an additional $16.8 million for its third week out.
