History Trivia / GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019

* InMemoriam: In Memory of Yoshimitsu Banno (the producer of this film and 2014's ''Film/{{Godzilla|2014}}'' and director of ''Film/GodzillaVsHedorah''), and Creator/HaruoNakajima (the original Godzilla actor), both of whom passed away in 2017. The ending credits depicts a photo still of Nakajima wearing the ''[[Film/EbirahHorrorOfTheDeep DaisensoGoji]]'' suit back in 1966.

* CreatorBacklash: Played down slightly, since while Creator/CharlesDance didn't seem to hate the movie or regret working on it, he utlimately proved somewhat unenthusiastic about it, rather bluntly stated that he nearly fell asleep at the film's premiere. That being said, he brought the same level of dedication to the film as he does all his projects and has also stated he is open to reprising his role in the future.

* FranchiseKiller: After its box office failure, it's been widely speculated that the Monsterverse would have been finished then and there if ''Godzilla vs. Kong'' hadn't already been completed, and unless it's a success far beyond the level of the three films before it, the franchise will truly be dead.

* BoxOfficeBomb: Despite opening at number one in the weekend box office and garnering an enthusiastically positive reaction from fans, the film ultimately flopped, grossing $385 million against a budget of $170–200 million. This is in comparison to the first film's more successful gross of $529 million against a $160 million budget, which is ironically in spite of its more mixed reception from fans.

* FanNickname: King Ghidorah's ditzy left head is given the fittingly unfitting monicker of "Kevin".

* AcclaimedFlop: a unique, CriticalDissonance example of this. While critics were mixed on the fim, General Audiences were much more forgiving. Unfortunately, the movie has yet to break even in the box office.
