Godzilla Minus Zero beats Ramayana to the global box office crown: $63M to $55.7M
By Fuzzy Mushroom · Published
Godzilla Minus Zero took $63 million worldwide in its opening weekend ($31.6 million in North America plus $31.4 million abroad), edging India's Ramayana: Rise of a Legend, which opened to a studio-reported $55.7 million globally. Most of Ramayana's haul came from India ($32 million), with $12.2 million from a four-day US and Canada launch and $11.5 million from 37 other markets, including about $3 million and No. 1 in the UK. Between them the two films drove a $29 million Imax weekend, and Deadline expects Ramayana to keep climbing in India through Diwali.
