This is a list of all King Kong movies in order of release date. There are eight currently-released live-action King Kong films, one currently in development, and three animated films. Unlike the Godzilla and Gamera series, the Kong films are not primarily produced by a single studio, as multiple different studios have produced Kong films, and no single studio has produced more than two films.
