Welcome to **The** **Box Office Report** for the weekend of Nov. 6-8, 2026. ## 1\. Godzilla Minus Zero *Weekend gross: *$31.6M** *Total domestic gross: *$31.6M** *Last weekend: *New release** *Percent drop: *NA** [In the Friday edition of **Popculturology**](https://www.theomnicosm.com/popculturology-newsletter-godzilla-minus-zero/), I called *Godzilla Minus Zero* “brutal” and “masterful.” (I also called it the loudest movie I’ve ever seen.) The sequel can add another title to that list of accolades: Biggest opening weekend for a live-action foreign-language film. *Godzilla Minus Zero* easily won the weekend, with its $31.6 million box office haul demolishing a wave of other new releases, including the most recent adaptation of *The Cat in the Hat*. When it comes to Godzilla movies, *Godzilla Minus Zero* effortlessly beat *Godzilla Minus One*’s domestic opening weekend of $11.4 million. That film settled at $56.9 million in North America, and between a $31.6 million debut and very positive word of mouth, I can see *Godzilla Minus Zero* stomping past that mark. [‘Godzilla Minus Zero’ is a brutal, masterful addition to the franchise | PopculturologyTakashi Yamazaki’s sequel is just as impressive as ‘Godzilla Minus One.’ PLUS: ’The Rings of Power’ release schedule, ‘SNL’ spirals deeper, and has Marvel met with a future Wolverine actor?![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/icon/omnicosm-square-new-2-46b5b207-8dd5-44c0-b522-3822588615e2.png)The OmnicosmBill Kuchman![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/thumbnail/popculturology-newsletter-godzilla-minus-zero-lede-ad106804-593a-4c28-a04d-f2501f9cc431.jpg)](https://www.theomnicosm.com/popculturology-newsletter-godzilla-minus-zero/) ## Sign up for Popculturology Love reading about movies, TV shows and everything pop culture?

The Cat in the Hat *Weekend gross: *$20.5M** *Total domestic gross: *$20.5M** *Last weekend: *New release** *Percent drop: *NA** Arriving over two decades after the live-action *The Cat in the Hat* starring **Mike Myers**, the new animated film debuted with a first-weekend haul just a bit more than half of the 2003 film’s $38.3 million opening weekend. Not great, especially when the new version, starring the voice talent of **Bill Hader**, has the benefit of inflation to boost it along. It probably also didn’t help that [reviews for the new version of *The Cat in the Hat* have been poor](https://www.avclub.com/the-cat-in-the-hat-review-2026-dr-seuss-bill-hader-animated?ref=theomnicosm.com). If you’re going to adapt a **Dr. Seuss** book, you can’t just slap the characters into any generic movie plot. also from the omnicosm [![CTA Image](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2026/10/snackology-square-new.png)](https://www.theomnicosm.com/snackology/) Love what you’re reading?

Drummer Boy *Weekend gross: *$9.3M** *Total domestic gross: *$9.3M** *Last weekend: *New release** *Percent drop: *NA** It’s always funny when an Angel Studios film slips into the top five, and I have to research a movie that I had no idea existed before sitting down to write the most recent edition of **The Box Office Report**. When I saw a movie titled *Drummer Boy* in this weekend’s lineup, I assumed it was a Christmas movie getting an early jump on things. Nope. It’s about “a young drummer boy, an enslaved woman and a divided family each \[searching\] for freedom in a world built to deny it” during the Revolutionary War. ## 4\. You Can See Everything *Weekend gross: *$8.9M** *Total domestic gross: *$79.8M** *Last weekend: *1st** *Percent drop: *23** *You Can See Everything* is the only movie from last weekend’s top five that managed to stick around this weekend as a wave of new releases overtook the box office. The film added an estimated $8.9 million to its domestic total, bringing the **Elizabeth Holmes** documentary just shy of $80 million in North America. *Does You Can See Everything* have another $20 million in it to hit the $100 million milestone? ## 5\. Ramayana: Rise of a Legend *Weekend gross: *$8.7M** *Total domestic gross: *$12.2M** *Last weekend: *New release** *Percent drop: *NA** *Godzilla Minus Zero* wasn’t the only foreign-language film making some money in North America this weekend, *Ramayana: Rise of a Legend*, the first installment in the two-part Hindi-language adaptation, scored an $8.7 million debut. *Box office numbers via The Numbers and Box Office Mojo based on Sunday estimates.* **Correction:* The headline on this article originally stated that* Godzilla Minus One *stomped* The Cat in the Hat*.* GodzillaMinus Zero *stomped* The Cat in the Hat*.* [![CTA Image](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2026/08/popculturology-wordmark-2.png)](#/portal/account/plans) ****Popculturology is a publication of The Omnicosm.** Issue No. 511 ****Popculturology** is written and produced by ****Bill Kuchman**.
