Godzilla: King of the Monsters knocked Disney's Aladdin off the top of the US box office chart at the weekend, taking an estimated $49 million.

Despite claiming the top spot, analysts described the debut of the monster remake disappointing.

Had real issues with #godzilla (2014). The movie was called Godzilla but he was barely in it. Thankfully @Mike_Dougherty's #GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters is awesome. It's everything I wanted last movie to b but wasn't. If u want to see Godzilla fighting other monsters u will b happy. pic.twitter.com/ksswtSey6O

Costing $200m to make, reviews have been lukewarm for the film, which stars Vera Farmiga and Kyle Chandler.

Its total for the three‑day weekend was far off its predecessor's debut of $93M back in 2014.
