Tap title to read story
Gkids released Toho’s "Godzilla Minus Zero" on Tuesday, November third, aiming for a global opening of around sixty million dollars. The sequel, directed by Takashi Yamazaki, follows the three‑headed King Ghidorah wreaking havoc in post‑World War Two Japan. In Japan, the film posted a first‑day gross of five point seven million dollars, surpassing the opening of "Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle" and setting a record for a live‑action title. The movie faces competition from the worldwide launch of "Ramayana: Rise of a Legend," whose projected earnings could reach seventy‑five million dollars in India alone. Despite potential competition, "Godzilla Minus Zero" is expected to become Gkids’ biggest opening ever, beating the previous high of thirteen million dollars.
