In North America, the film concludes this week with a total gross of $50.07 million, marking it as the top non-English language film since 2020. It now stands as the fifth highest-grossing non-English language film, following "Parasite" ($53.4M) and "Hero" ($53.7M).

This film, commemorating Godzilla's 70th anniversary, is Toho's 30th major production featuring Godzilla. Set in post-World War II Japan, Godzilla's appearance seems to deliver another blow to a nation that has already hit rock bottom, pushing it into negative territory (-1.0).
