This week, Godzilla is ‘destroying’ at the box office, just not like he did to Tokyo. People have been waiting for Minus Zero, after the success of Godzilla Minus One. Both Wrenage and I reviewed Minus Zero, and it is good, but not as good as the original.
I saw it on Saturday afternoon, about 1:30, and my theatre was pretty much empty; however, it was hardly peak time. Around the world, though, Godzilla is seeing the cinemas full.
According to Deadline, Minus Zero has reported $30 million at the box office this weekend, which is three times the amount that Minus One made in its opening weekend. It also means it has set a new record for a foreign-language movie in North America at the box office.
If you didn’t know, The Cat in the Hat was also released, very much under the radar. It still managed to make $20 million this weekend, but all of the focus has been on Godzilla.
Angel Studios’ Drummer Boy made $8 million at the box office, which was good for Angel.
A24’s You Can See Everything is holding well, with only a 32% dip to $7.8 million, meaning a £78 million domestic haul.
The other big release was Ramayana, which is Bollywood’s most expensive movie to date. It took $6 million at the box office. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Bollywood movie ever; I doubt this one will change my mind.
