Weekend box office results for Nov. 6-8, 2026 are in, and Godzilla Minus Zero took the crown with $30.6 million. It opened in 3,254 theaters, which works out to a $9,400 per-theater average and a clear win over a crowded field of new releases.

Why Godzilla Minus Zero Won the Weekend Box Office
The film earned $14.6 million on Friday alone, according to The Numbers’ daily chart, then added roughly $16 million across Saturday and Sunday. That is a front-loaded pattern, common for franchise-style event releases that draw their most eager fans on opening day.
It also had the best theater average among the wide openers by a wide margin. At $9,400 per location, it beat The Cat in the Hat ($4,997) even though the family title played in about 750 more theaters.
The Cat in the Hat Takes a Solid Second
The family release opened to $20.0 million from 4,003 theaters, the widest rollout on the chart. Family titles often grow through word of mouth and holiday weekends, so Monday-through-Thursday numbers will be worth watching in the days ahead. On Friday it earned $6.05 million, meaning the weekend roughly tripled its opening day, a typical sign of a kid-driven audience that shows up on Saturday and Sunday.
Holdovers: Who Dropped the Most?
Weekend-over-weekend changes tell their own story. You Can See Everything slipped 26 percent in its fourth weekend while crossing $79 million. Wildwood fell 20 percent and Wicker fell about 22 percent, both fairly gentle drops. Clayface fell about 39 percent, and Street Fighter dropped about 42 percent, the steepest declines in the top 10.
- Best hold: Wildwood, down 20 percent, now at $40.05 million.
- Biggest total: You Can See Everything, at $79.38 million after 24 days.
- Steepest drop: Street Fighter, down 42 percent, with $57.39 million so far.
Ramayana: Rise of a Legend Shines in Limited Release
One of the more notable numbers is the $6,238 theater average for Ramayana: Rise of a Legend, which earned $8.94 million from just 1,433 theaters. Its cumulative total of $12.45 million covers a four-day opening that began before the weekend. Specialty and international-audience releases often post strong per-screen figures because fans buy tickets for fewer, targeted showtimes.
What to Watch Next at the Box Office
With four new openers splitting audiences, the coming weeks will show which films have staying power. Keep an eye on how Godzilla Minus Zero holds in its second weekend, since a drop smaller than 60 percent would suggest strong word of mouth. Also watch whether The Cat in the Hat benefits from family audiences in the days around the holidays.
