Last weekendWeek 45 recap · Nov 6–8Godzilla Minus Zero opens to $31.6M at #1; The Cat in the Hat starts at $20.5M

November kicked the box office back up again with a bunch of over-performing openings coupled with some really strong holds, which led to $104M from the top ten, more than doubling last weekend’s $50M take and more than 40% above the same weekend last year, too. Godzilla Minus Zero took #1 with $31.6M, a little under triple what Minus One opened to three years ago and right in the top half of what we were expecting. The Cat in the Hat landed at the very top of its shrunken tracking with $20.5M, Drummer Boy came in third with $9.3M, and Ramayana did $8.6M over the weekend and over $12M since its Wednesday opening - all of these are strong results that give the box office some real depth, especially when coupled with some of the holdovers, which we’ll get to below. All in all, it’s a really strong start to what should be an exciting last 2 months of the year at the box office, after a relatively chill October.

Looking aheadLong-range preview · Oct 19November 2026 Preview: Cats, Kaiju and a Quarter Quell

November is when the year picks back up after the slow comedown September and October usually bring. Last year it was Wicked: For Good and Zootopia 2, the year before it was Wicked, Gladiator II and Moana 2 inside one eleven-day stretch, and in 2019 Frozen II did $130M in a single weekend. This year there is nothing on the calendar at that size. The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping is the biggest film of the month, and it is tracking for an opening in the $60–70M range.
