Japanese monster film Godzilla Minus Zero has surpassed Indian epic Ramayana: Part 1 at the global box office, earning approximately $63 million (Rs 592.91 crore) against Ramayana's $54 million (Rs 507.20 crore). Godzilla Minus Zero, made on a reported budget of $19 million, has collected $31.6 million in North America and $31.4 million overseas, including $17 million in Japan. Ramayana, budgeted at Rs 2,000 crore for Part 1, grossed Rs 285.20 crore in India over four days but trails internationally. The Japanese film achieved this without releasing in India or several other markets. Godzilla Minus Zero follows the 2023 hit Godzilla Minus One, which grossed $113 million worldwide, while Ramayana faces mixed reviews that may slow its overseas performance.
