Godzilla Minus Zero Second Weekend Box Office Update

Godzilla Minus Zero is facing its first real box office test. After a record-breaking opening weekend, Takashi Yamazaki's monster epic had a softer second Friday in US theaters — and the early numbers point to a much steeper second-weekend fall than expected. Here is the latest update, based on Friday figures reported by Deadline on November 13-14.

Second Friday and Second Weekend Estimate

Godzilla Minus Zero earned an estimated $2.1-2.4 million on its second Friday. Based on that Friday, the current estimate for the second weekend is about $8 million. That would be a drop of about 74% from the opening weekend, a steeper fall than expected for a film that opened so strongly.

Please note: the $8 million figure is the current estimate, not a final total. Final second-weekend numbers may still move up or down.

If the estimate holds, the film's total in the US and Canada would reach about $48.5 million by Sunday, after ten days in theaters.

A Record-Breaking Opening Weekend

Godzilla Minus Zero opened with $30.6 million in its first weekend in North America, the biggest opening ever for a live-action foreign-language film in North America. It was a remarkable result for a Japanese-language release and one of the biggest surprises of the year at the box office.

First Week Totals

In its first week, Godzilla Minus Zero earned $40.5 million in the US and Canada. Globally, its first week reached $73.6 million, including $18.6 million from Japan. The film has drawn audiences in both markets, with strong word of mouth helping it stand out in a crowded release season.

The Competition This Weekend

This weekend, Ebenezer is taking the No. 1 spot with $20 million or more. Meanwhile, How to Rob a Bank is off to a weak start, at about $4 million. Even with the steep second-weekend drop, Godzilla Minus Zero remains one of the talking points of the box office weekend.

Why Audiences Are Still Talking About It

Good reviews and strong word of mouth helped Godzilla Minus Zero break out in its first weekend, and fans continue to praise its story, its scale, and its emotional core. The second-weekend drop is sharp, but the film has already made box office history, and its 10-day total will be close to $48.5 million.

Still in Theaters

Godzilla Minus Zero is still playing in theaters now. If you have not seen it yet, check your local listings and catch it on the big screen while it is still showing.
