Godzilla Minus Zero at the North American box office
The sequel remains at #1 in the North American box office rankings. The R-rated movie collected a solid $1.4 million on its first Thursday at the box office in North America. It is the biggest first Thursday of all time for non-English international live-action films, with just a 54.1% decline from Wednesday, which was the Veterans Day holiday in North America. It is slightly higher than Godzilla Minus One‘s $1.3 million first-Thursday gross. It has thus hit the $40.6 million cume in just 7 days.
Godzilla Minus Zero beats Ne Zha 2 in North America
Chinese animated film Ne Zha 2 set several box office records during its theatrical run. The movie set a benchmark by earning $1 billion in 11 days from a single market, the fastest in history. The film was all over the news for being a box-office juggernaut and was eventually released in North America, earning strong numbers for a Chinese animation.

According to Box Office Mojo, Ne Zha 2 collected a solid $23.3 million in its lifetime run at the North American box office. Godzilla Minus Zero earned almost twice that collection in its first week alone. This Japanese live-action film is thus more popular among North Americans than Chinese animation. However, beating Ne Zha 2 worldwide is an impossible task for the Japanese movie. This weekend the R-rated sequel is expected to cross $50 million in North America.
What is the film about?
The movie follows Japan as it struggles to rebuild its nation and reclaim normalcy two years after Godzilla’s devastating attack. Just as humanity begins to enjoy a hard-won peace, a new threat emerges, threatening to crush all hope of recovery and bring everything to an end. Godzilla Minus Zero was released in North America on November 6.
