Godzilla Minus Zero has had a monster opening weekend, breaking records in the North American market.

The follow-up to 2023's Godzilla Minus One opened on November 6 across 3254 theaters in North America, constituting the market's biggest ever release for a Japanese film. It also made up a record-breaking 40% of IMAX revenue during the opening weekend. The North American box office currently stands at 31.6 million dollars, far outpacing the previous installment's performance.

The Japanese box office, meanwhile, currently stands at 2.5 billion yen (around 16 million USD) following a slightly earlier premiere on November 3. IMAX shared the film's countdown movie (above) that was played before screenings.
