LOS ANGELES, April 18 (Xinhua) -- Warner Bros. and Legendary's monster film "Godzilla vs. Kong" maintained its reign at the North American box office for the third weekend in a row without much in the way of competition.

"Godzilla vs. Kong" took in an estimated 7.7 million U.S. dollars from 3,001 theaters between Friday and Sunday, according to studio figures collected by measurement firm Comscore.

The film, which became the highest grossing film of the COVID-19 era in North America last week, has earned 80.51 million dollars in the region to date.

The film is the fourth entry in Warner Bros. and Legendary's MonsterVerse franchise. In the film, the two iconic silver screen behemoths meet in a spectacular battle for the ages, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance.

Directed by Adam Wingard, the film stars Alexander Skarsgard, Millie Bobby Brown, Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, Shun Oguri, Eiza Gonzalez and Julian Dennison.

Comscore data showed that the film added another 12.2 million dollars internationally this weekend for a whopping worldwide total of 390.2 million dollars.
