In its third week the domestic box office has dropped dramatically.
At my local multi plex theater there's only one screen showing Godzilla now (non 3D), a little over a week ago it was still on three screens including IMAX 3D.
It may not reach 200 million domestically, so it can hardly be considered a box office disappointment considering it's 90 million plus opening weekend exceeded all expectations.

Virtually all films experience a decline at the box office after the first week. Generally, it's a continued decline week after week.
After only 17 days in release, Godzilla has grossed $174 million domestically. In the last week, it has grossed $43 million. Even if we assume a 40% decline week after week, Godzilla will still surpass $200 million domestically within the next two weeks. Again, after only 17 days in release, there is plenty of time to pull out another $30-40 million domestically.
Sales at the foreign box office is showing no signs of slowing down. Plus, it has yet to open in China and Japan. Godzilla is looking at $500-$700 million at the box office.

Godzilla is China's Biggest Opening Day of 2014 with $10.9 million

Legendary Pictures’ reboot of the classic monster movie opened in China on Friday with a $10.9 million debut, the country’s biggest opening day of the year and Warner Bros.’ biggest-ever opening in China, Deadline reports.
Thought it was pretty good. The only thing thaey could have done better was maybe show godzilla more and i thought the fight scenes were a bit short
I thought it was fine as the first scene in Hawaii was a prelude to the scene in San Francisco which was pretty long but not quite Transformers: Dark of the Moon long.
It won't hit the 'magic' 600 million mark I think the producers would have liked. Nonetheless the movie can be considered a success, and a sequel is being planned.

Legendary wanted at least a $400m global performance, which makes $400m the "magic number," not $600m. Whether Godzilla reaches $600m remains to be seen, but the mid $500m range is highly likely.
Godzilla has grossed almost $480m globally. Not to mention, it is only in its second weekend in China - the world's second largest movie market - where it is expected to gross $100m, and has not even opened in Japan, the world's third largest movie market.
Godzilla is already a box office success.

Yeah, I know you do. Look, I think for us if the movie does- I’d really like for it to at least have a four in front of it globally, and if it does that we’re in a good position.
