The final figures are in for the November 6–8 weekend, and they confirm the story Sunday’s estimates told — with a few numbers moving in the final count. Godzilla Minus Zero tops the chart at $30,587,672, according to Box Office Mojo, ahead of The Cat in the Hat at $20,002,705 and Drummer Boy at $9,421,843. Ramayana, which Sunday’s partial listings had in seventh place, finishes fourth at $8,939,505.

The top ten, on the final Mojo chart, reads: Godzilla Minus Zero ($30.59M), The Cat in the Hat ($20.00M), Drummer Boy ($9.42M), Ramayana ($8.94M), You Can See Everything ($8.44M, down 26.2 percent in its fourth weekend), Wildwood ($7.21M, down 20.1 percent), Clayface ($6.73M, down 38.8 percent), Wild Horse Nine ($5.91M), Stray Kids World Tour ‘Run It’ Live Viewing ($3.7M, estimated) and Wicker ($3.41M, down 21.8 percent). Just outside the ten, Street Fighter took $2.12 million and Jimmy $2.08 million.

A market total that depends on who counts

The overall market total is where the trackers disagree. Rentrak data cited by Reel360 puts the weekend at $121.7 million, up about 50 percent on the comparable weekend last year, when Predator: Badlands led an $81 million frame. The Associated Press, cited by Cocktails and Movies, puts the total at around $116.6 million, with overall ticket sales up 96.8 percent from the previous weekend. The gap of about $5 million reflects different counts of reporting films; on either reading, this was a big rebound from the sleepy Halloween weekend.

It was also, according to Reel360, the 12th time in the past 15 weekends that 2026 has outpaced 2025. Screendollars is holding to its $10.3 billion domestic forecast for 2026, about 20 percent above last year’s $8.55 billion, according to the same report.

What the finals changed

The biggest moves from Sunday’s estimates were at the top: Godzilla fell from $31.61 million to $30.59 million, and the Cat from $20.5 million to $20.00 million. Ramayana moved the other way, from a partial $6.24 million listing to a final $8.94 million. Drummer Boy ticked up from $9.31 million to $9.42 million, You Can See Everything fell from $8.86 million to $8.44 million, and Wild Horse Nine from $6 million to $5.91 million.

The weekend’s diversity was its defining feature: a Japanese monster film, a Dr. Seuss animation, a Revolutionary War musical, an Indian epic, a documentary, a family drama, a DC horror film and a K-pop concert film all made the top ten. That range is the story of the weekend — and the final figures confirm it.
