Godzilla ruled the box office on Friday with a stunning $38.5 million. Meanwhile, Neighbors and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 fell hard, while Million Dollar Arm failed to find the strike zone.Playing at over 3,950 theaters, Godzilla's $38.5 million opening day is the biggest of the year ahead of comic book sequels Captain America: The Winter Soldier ($36.9 million) and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 ($35.2 million). It's also way above World War Z ($25.2 million), which was viewed as the most direct comparable title.Word-of-mouth on Godzilla is decidedly mixed: it earned a so-so "B+" CinemaScore on Friday, and anecdotal evidence suggests that the movie's detractors are quite vocal. Still, it's a safe bet that Godzilla scores the biggest opening weekend of the year ahead of Captain America ($95 million). Neighbors took second place with $8.4 million. That's a steep 57 percent drop, which makes sense given the younger audience and mixed word-of-mouth. For the weekend, the Seth Rogen comedy should earn roughly $26 million.
