Godzilla Minus Zero opened at the top of the US box office, earning $63 million worldwide in its opening weekend. That included $31.6 million in the US and Canada, where it set an opening-weekend receipts record for the biggest live-action foreign-language film. The Japanese-language film, shown with English subtitles, is the 39th in a franchise that began in 1954. In Japan, it set a domestic record for a live-action film, according to Kyodo. It earned $5.75 million there on its opening day, 3 November, setting a record for the first day of a live-action release in the country. Toho said that was more than double the opening-day earnings of Godzilla Minus One. Directed by Takashi Yamazaki, the film is set in Japan in 1949 and shows Godzilla confronting Ghidorah, a dragon-like beast, as the country tries to rebuild after the second world war. Godzilla resurfaces two years after it lay “dead” at the bottom of the ocean. Toho Global president Koji Ueda said in a statement that the opening showed how deeply audiences around the world connect with Godzilla and Yamazaki’s vision. Industry analyst David A Gross wrote that the opening was nearly three times that of Godzilla Minus One in December 2023. Large-format screens generated 34% of Godzilla’s opening-weekend box office take. It competed with the Indian film Ramayana: Rise of a Legend, which earned $55.7 million in its opening weekend. https://mansetetkisi.com/en/godzilla-minus-zero-takes-us-box-office-by-storm-in-opening-weekend-32699
