So, almost two months after it hit theaters, Toho’s Godzilla Minus One” has just hit a rare milestone. It now surpassed the Best Picture Oscar winner “Parasite” to become one of the top 3 

highest grossing nonEnglish films 

in U.S. box office history.

The record is thanks in part to the special blackandwhite recut of the film titled “Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color,” it hit theaters this past Friday for a oneweek limited showing. The new version added $2.6 million to the film’s American sum — its highest weekend total since New Year’s weekend, — to bring it now to $55 million, passing the $53.3 million total that “Parasite” totalled in 2020 before inflation adjustment.

With another $2.2 million, “Godzilla Minus One” will pass the $57.2 million total of Roberto Benigni’s 1997 film “Life Is Beautiful” take the No. 2 spot, sitting only behind the $128 million of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”.
