Takashi Yamazaki’s Godzilla Minus Zero is forecast to earn $25 million-$30 million in the U.S. and Canada and more than $30 million across 23 other territories. Industry estimates cited by Deadline put its global opening at about $60 million.
The film made $5.7 million (¥910 million) on its first day in Japan and attracted more than 590,000 attendees. Toho calls it a record opening day for a live-action title in Japan, both local and foreign. Deadline says it could not verify that claim independently.
Its first-day Japanese gross was 201% higher than that of Godzilla Minus One. Japanese forecasts project a final total above ¥10 billion, or $63.2 million, for the new film.
