**Strong previews and Friday performance have anchored trader sentiment for “Godzilla Minus Zero” near the 28–34 million range.** The Takashi Yamazaki sequel to the Oscar-winning “Godzilla Minus One” benefited from substantial fan goodwill, IMAX and premium large-format screens—the first Japanese production shot specifically for the format—and early tracking that placed it in the mid-to-high $20 millions before surging past $30 million projections. Positive reviews (roughly 90 percent on Rotten Tomatoes) and an A CinemaScore have reinforced momentum, while limited competition from family titles like “The Cat in the Hat” leaves room for upside. With actuals already pointing toward the low-to-mid $30 millions, the near-even split between the two leading brackets reflects uncertainty over Sunday hold and final word-of-mouth legs before the weekend locks.
