‘Godzilla Minus Zero’ Beats ‘Ramayana’ at the North American Box Office

Japanese production house Toho’s latest big-budget film, ‘Godzilla Minus Zero’, is making a strong impact at the North American box office. Released on November 6, the film reportedly collected $31.6 million between Friday and Sunday, securing the top position and pushing Ranbir Kapoor-starrer ‘Ramayana’ down the rankings. According to trade estimates, ‘Ramayana’ earned around $8.7 million during the same period and stood in fifth place. Its reported four-day opening weekend collection in North America is $12.2 million.

‘Godzilla Minus Zero’ is the sequel to the 2023 film ‘Godzilla Minus One’ and is directed by Takashi Yamazaki. Set in Japan as the country recovers from the aftermath of World War II, the story introduces a terrifying threat in the form of the monstrous King Ghidorah. The film follows the struggle to confront this new danger. Its strong box-office performance has made it a major competitor in the North American market.
