Hollywood film Godzilla Vs. Kong has set a new global record for pandemic-era filmgoing. Takings have been more than $385m (£205m) since opening two weeks ago.
The strong showing came despite continued limits on attendance in many places, bringing hope to an industry that has been battered by the virus.
The $48.5m the film brought in during its first five days in the US outpaced the weekend debut of the Godzilla franchise's previous film.
