Summer feels as if it’s started and with it come some big movies this weekend. There may not be many, but half of them could be heavy hitters at the box office. The newest Godzilla movie sees the reptilian monster take on three of his biggest enemies – Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah – while Rocketman tells the early years of music legend Elton John.
