Godzilla Minus Zero Sets Japanese Opening-Day Record, While India Release Gets Postponed

Godzilla Minus Zero has earned 910 million yen, approximately $5.75 million, from 590,000 admissions on its opening day in Japan. According to data from the Motion Picture Producers Association of Japan, the film recorded the highest single-day opening box office earnings in Japanese history among all live-action films, whether produced domestically or overseas.

But Indian audiences will have to wait longer to watch the film in theatres. Its Indian release has officially moved from November 6 to November 20. As reported by Sacnilk, the postponement avoids a direct box office clash with Ramayana: Part One. The report also states that Ramayana secured a two-week IMAX exclusivity window, leaving premium limited screens unavailable for Godzilla Minus Zero during that period.

Godzilla Minus Zero is a sequel to 2023’s Godzilla Minus One. Yamazaki returned as writer and director, as well as the film’s visual effects supervisor. It is the 39th entry in the Godzilla film franchise and follows the story of post-war Japan facing another giant monster threat.
