The Numbers has posted actuals for the weekend of November 6, 2026, and they come in a little under the Sunday studio estimates that circulated earlier in the week. Godzilla Minus Zero finished first with $30,628,265 in North America, and The Cat in the Hat opened in second place with $20,002,705.
Those weekend figures are from The Numbers' domestic chart. They should be treated as reported actuals, not as studio estimates.
The top of the chart, per The Numbers
Godzilla Minus Zero played in 3,254 theaters and posted a $9,412 average. The Cat in the Hat had a wider 4,003-theater run and a $4,997 average. Both films were in their first three days of release.
Sunday studio estimates had been higher. The Guardian, in a November 9 report, used figures of $31.6 million domestic and $63 million worldwide for Godzilla Minus Zero, and described that opening as a record for a live-action foreign-language film in the United States and Canada. Box Office Pro's earlier weekend piece used a $20.5 million Sunday estimate for The Cat in the Hat. Variety, as of our [November 11 report](/blog/godzilla-minus-zero-box-office-opening), had already revised Godzilla to $30.5 million domestic. The Numbers' $30,628,265 and $20,002,705 sit in line with those later updates, not with the first Sunday estimates.
This article is not re-adjudicating the foreign-language opening record off the revised total. That record claim, as published last weekend, was tied to the Sunday estimate. If a studio or a box-office outlet restates the record against the actual, that would be the figure to use.
New wide releases behind those two included Drummer Boy, at $9,421,843, and Ramayana: Rise of a Legend, at $8,939,505 for the weekend and $12,445,187 in four days.
Holdovers: Clayface and Street Fighter
Clayface took in $6,728,001, down 39 percent, and has $56,660,568 through 17 days, according to The Numbers — three weeks in theaters. Street Fighter added $2,121,819, down 42 percent, and has $57,386,206 through 24 days, or four weeks.
Those cumulative totals match, in round numbers, the roughly $56.6 million and $57.4 million figures that circulated with Sunday estimates. The weekend themselves are now the slightly lower actuals above.
You Can See Everything grossed $8,442,842, down 26 percent, and has $79,377,392 after 24 days. Wildwood added $7,245,403 and has $40,081,350 after 17 days. The Numbers lists 69 movies on the chart and a weekend domestic total of $115,986,124.
The takeaway
Use The Numbers' actuals for this weekend: about $30.6 million for Godzilla Minus Zero and $20.0 million for The Cat in the Hat, with Clayface at $56.7 million through three weeks and Street Fighter at $57.4 million through four. Sunday estimates published earlier in the week were a little higher, especially for Godzilla.
