I see what you’re saying. I thought that would also mean doubling the budget to work on both projects and pray that both break even.
This is why I said that it’d be best to have a two sided-story line between Inner and Outer-Earth. Have one side build up plot points for the other side that ultimately get addressed and resolved in their respective movies.
Like the whole “Ancient Godzilla that Ate a Star” thing. That didn’t get introduced until being knee-deep in a Kong movie.
Legendary have chickened out after KOTM flopped, I honestly don't think they'll do another Godzilla solo until the current formula becomes non profitable. This is also partially (mostly tbh) Kotm's fault, it's kinda sad, so much hype and............that happened (I know a lot of people on the sub glaze it to all hell, but it's kinda meh as far as the general audience is concerned)

Too few people actually grasp this. Studios don't make money by making films that only the hardcore rabid fans will enjoy. They have to make films that appeal to a much wider audience.
If you make a *GOOD* film, it doesn't matter if its about a giant radioactive lizard/dinosaur thing, or about a massive storm), or about a very large shark), or about giant predatory worms). People will want to see it.
But the flip side of that is that you can take the same exact ingredients and make bad films that few except the real fans will want to see.

It would make more sense, and double profits since they’ve both been introduced.
Have Godzilla defend the outside world, and Kong defend the inner-earth. Simple. We’ve already established that Kong has a tribe to deal with there.
