Godzilla Minus Zero earns $14.5 million in US box office debut
Toho's 'Godzilla Minus Zero' dominated the North American box office on Friday, grossing $14.5 million in its opening day. The sci-fi thriller easily outperformed the animated adaptation of Dr. Seuss's 'The Cat in the Hat,' which collected $6 million on the same day. International performance was equally strong, with the film earning ¥910 million in Japan on its opening day, roughly triple the debut figure of its predecessor, 'Godzilla Minus One.' The strong domestic and international start suggests the franchise continues to resonate with global audiences despite the passage of time since the original 1954 film. Industry analysts note the film's success as a testament to the enduring appeal of the kaiju genre in modern cinema.
