The movie's success is further highlighted by its record-breaking domestic debut, grossing $11.4 million and finishing third at the box office in its opening weekend. Despite its modest budget of $15 million, Godzilla Minus One continues to captivate audiences with its stunning special effects and captivating storyline.
