At $81 Million, "Godzilla Minus One" Marching Towards $100 Million

Thanks to the extended New Year's weekend, Godzilla Minus One has surpassed $80 million worldwide and is on track to reach $100 million.

According to Collider: 

After edging past the lifetime global haul of 2016’s Shin Godzilla, Toho’s word-of-mouth blockbuster Godzilla Minus One is continuing its march towards the coveted $100 million mark at the global box office. The movie is expected to gross between $3 million and $4 million across the extended New Year’s weekend domestically, and registered a soft 10% drop despite losing over 700 theaters.

The film’s running domestic total now stands at just over $45 million, while its overseas haul remains stable at $35 million. Godzilla Minus One has now grossed $81 million worldwide, despite only playing in a handful of international territories. The movie had generated over $30 million in its home country, Japan, prior to its stateside debut last month. It is now among the top non-English live-action movies of all time at the domestic box office, having recently overtaken Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth, and will now set its sights on passing Parasite’s $53 million haul in 2019.

I did my part. I went to see it for the second time yesterday.
