Streaming Release
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, released in theaters on March 29, is approaching its streaming release on Max. Warner Bros.' Monsterverse film performed well at the box office, crossing the $500 million mark, according to Box Office Mojo. The movie became available for digital rent and purchase on May 14 but hasn't yet premiered on Max, even into June.


Release Date on Max
A new update on HBO's website suggests a possible streaming release date for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire on Max. As reported by When To Stream on X (formerly Twitter), HBO listed the 2001 film Boycott in its 8 p.m. slot on Saturday, July 6. This placement follows the airing of Godzilla (2014) and Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) in the schedule.

HBO has a trend of airing movies on Saturday nights at 8 p.m. ET after they start streaming on Max earlier in the week. This pattern was seen with films like Barbie, The Flash, and The Nun II in 2023. When To Stream speculates that Boycott serves as a placeholder for Godzilla x Kong's debut. Notably, there is a gap in the schedule from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET following Boycott, which further supports this theory.

Max has also premiered movies on Fridays and Tuesdays recently, as seen with Dune: Part Two. This suggests that Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire might debut on Max on either Tuesday, July 2, or Friday, July 5.

Theatrical Success
Warner Bros. gave Godzilla x Kong a substantial theatrical run, keeping it on screens for nearly three months before its anticipated streaming release. The film benefited from a relatively open schedule in April and May before other big releases like The Fall Guy, IF, and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes hit theaters. Despite a 54% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes, the film received a 91% Audience Score.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire remains in theaters and is rumored to premiere on HBO on Saturday, July 6, at 8 p.m.
