Sci Fi Box Office: Weekly post tracking the performance of sci fi and fantasy movies in the theaters and on streaming.
Box Office Results
Godzilla Minus Zero assualted theaters this last weekend, landing at the Number 1 slot and pulling in $30.6 million in domestic ticket sales. That one has made $64 million worldwide so far against a budget of $19 million, so it looks to follow in the footsteps of Godzilla Minus One and prove to be a Box Office success during its theatrical run. The Indian-made Ramayana was not as successful in North America, premiering at the Number 4 slot with just under $9 million in domestic receipts. That one has pulled in $45.8 million in global ticket sales, but it still has an uphill battle to recovers its $210 million budget. Yeon Sang-ho’s latest genre entry Paradise Lost only made it to Number 47 for its premiere, opening in 24 theaters across North America and pulling in just under $8K in ticket sales. Below are all of the genre films from the Top 20 (and a few just outside) based on the weekend results.
