Godzilla Minus Zero's real opening was $30.6 million, plus what's new in theaters and streaming this weekend: Ebenezer, How to Rob a Bank, Rings of Power and The End of Oak Street

The final weekend numbers

Sunday's estimate had Godzilla Minus Zero at $31.6 million, and that's the number in most headlines. Monday's actual count was $30.6 million. Studios estimate Sunday's ticket sales before the day is over, and this one came in a bit short. (The Numbers)

1. Godzilla Minus Zero: $30.6 million from 3,254 theaters
2. The Cat in the Hat: $20.0 million from 4,003 theaters
3. Drummer Boy: $9.4 million
4. Ramayana: Rise of a Legend: $8.9 million, $12.4 million since opening Wednesday
5. You Can See Everything: $8.4 million, $79.4 million after four weeks

Ramayana and You Can See Everything swapped places from Sunday's estimates.

Godzilla: still a record

• It's the biggest opening ever for a live-action foreign-language film in North America. The "live-action" part matters: anime like Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle opened bigger. It's also the biggest opening ever for its US distributor, GKIDS, more than double The Boy and the Heron. (NBC News, Wikipedia)
• Big screens did the work. IMAX and other premium large-format screens brought in 74% of the money. IMAX alone was $12.7 million in North America and $21 million worldwide, its biggest global opening for a Japanese film. (Deadline, IMAX)
• Worldwide it's at about $63 million, the top movie in the world last weekend. (Deadline)
• Audiences love it: an A CinemaScore and 90% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. It's rated R, a first for Godzilla, and runs 135 minutes.
• Monday: $2.1 million, bringing it to $32.7 million. (The Numbers)

The Cat in the Hat: a soft start

Warner Bros.' animated Cat in the Hat, with Bill Hader as the Cat, opened to $20.0 million, below Sunday's $20.5 million estimate, plus $10 million overseas. It cost a reported $86 million to $92 million to make. Kids gave it an A CinemaScore, but critics were lukewarm, around 47% on Rotten Tomatoes. It's rated PG. Family films usually hold up well over the holidays, so it has time. (Cartoon Brew, Wikipedia)

New in theaters

• Ghost Soldier (Wednesday, November 11, Veterans Day), a Sony war film with Jim Caviezel, rated PG-13. (Wikipedia)
• Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol (Friday), Ti West's darker take on Dickens with Johnny Depp as Scrooge and Ian McKellen, rated PG-13 for frightening material. Early reactions are split. Boxoffice Pro's long-range forecast was $25 million to $35 million, which would put it in a fight with Godzilla for first. (Boxoffice Pro)
• How to Rob a Bank (Friday), David Leitch's heist comedy with Nicholas Hoult, Zoe Kravitz and Pete Davidson. Forecast: $10 million to $15 million. (Wikipedia)
• Victorian Psycho (Friday), a gory period horror film with Maika Monroe, rated R.

My picks

• See Godzilla in IMAX soon. Big-screen showtimes shrink fast once the holiday movies arrive.
• With younger kids: The Cat in the Hat is fine, but check the length. Listings range from about 90 to 107 minutes.
• For a night in: The Good Daughter, since you can watch the whole thing this weekend.
