The cinematic universe is a much more popular concept than it was 10 or so years ago. When the first Iron Man movie was released, no one would have anticipated that the MCU would expand and become the worldwide conglomerate that it currently is. This is reflected as well in the likes of the DCEU. The popularity and success of these universes led to the development of others like the Dark Universe and the MonsterVerse. 

The latter cinematic universes, specifically the MonsterVerse, have not been as successful, on paper, as their comic book predecessors. The marvel films have set a very high bar though, as the Harvard Business Review previously commented. You can click here to read the Hbr.org article about Marvel's blockbuster machine. That being said, it would be wrong to say that these universes have not still been successful in their own right. There are a number of different means by which they have been successful.

Iconic Figures Inspire Spin-Off Games

The figures that have been involved in the MonsterVerse are already incredibly well-known and popular. The likes of Leafwing, MUTO, Skullcrawler, and Mother Longlegs were already known by many. On top of that, you have the iconic figures that are Godzilla and King Kong. These resonate with audiences given they are already well-known and as such, the rise of the MonsterVerse has inspired spin-off games involving such characters. 

A lot of different slot machines are inspired by King Kong himself, alongside that there are also Godzilla slot machines and even gambling games surrounding the most recent installation into the MonsterVerse, Godzilla vs Kong, a film which the media wrote positively about (click here to see The Guardian.com review of the film). Given the number of online casinos there are out there and the varying themes that different websites dabble in, it is hardly a surprise that so many have capitalized on the legends that are King Kong and Godzilla.  

There are so many sites now that look into using different figures that it can be hard for online gamblers to find the website which is right for them. There are comparison sites such as Bonus Finder available which provide these gamblers with information on different websites such as BetMGM so that they can make an informed decision as to whether or not they would like to play. As such, if you are an online gambler who wants information on the games on different sites and whether they are the kind of place that creates games around the monsters in the MonsterVerse, all you have to do is click here to view Bonus.ca's information on them

Merchandise Sales 

Thanks to the iconic imagery and legends that surround the likes of Godzilla and King Kong, when T-shirts and posters are designed which flaunt the characters, there is a queue full of people who are keen to buy. The movies sold quite well when they were at the cinema (albeit maybe not as well as studios would have liked) but when these sales are paired with what was sold in merch, the damage isn’t as bad as some people make out it is. 

The merch doesn’t just stop at clothing either. There are also a number of collectible action figures that have been created in light of the movies that are stocked at stores all over the world. One of the most popular distributors is Smyths but there are many more.

The MonsterVerse is Doing Better Than You Think 

When you compare the success of the MonsterVerse to its counterparts such as the DCEU and the MCU, you may well think that it is not doing very well. It is worth noting though that the MonsterVerse is doing a lot better than people think. Ticket sales alone are turning over a profit; however, combined with the likes of money made from games that use the image of these monsters, as well as merchandise sales, the MonsterVerse is a success in its own right.

Considering that Disney is now apparently trying to make their own King Kong show in an attempt to cash in on its success, I'd say the MonsterVerse is doing pretty well.
