How does it stack up against its predecessor?
According to the available data, Godzilla Minus Zero collected around 3x as much as Godzilla Minus One’s Wednesday and Thursday previews. For the record, the 2023 blockbuster had collected $2.1 million from the Wednesday and Thursday previews in North America.

The sequel is tracking to earn between $30 million and $40 million in its opening weekend in North America. It would be a historic debut for a Japanese live-action movie in North America. It is expected to take the top spot in the North American box office rankings on its opening weekend. Godzilla Minus Zero was released on November 6.
