Godzilla Minus Zero, the sequel to the Oscar-winning film Godzilla Minus One, will be released this year, and fans are overhyped about it. Latest media reports revealed that it has received an R rating, a first for the franchise. Thus, the question arises: will it beat the #1 R-rated movie of all time at the box office in North America? How much does it need to achieve this milestone in North America? Keep scrolling for the deets.
It is a Japanese movie by Takashi Yamazaki, which is a sequel to the 2023 hit and the 39th movie in the Godzilla franchise. Since the film is not a mainstream Hollywood movie like the MonsterVerse entries, it would be a big surprise to the industry if it set a new box-office record.
Which is the highest-grossing R-rated movie in North America?
Although The Odyssey has become the all-time highest-grossing R-rated film worldwide, it is still significantly far from achieving this title in North America. The #1 R-rated movie ever title still belongs to Deadpool & Wolverine at the North American box office. According to Box Office Mojo, it collected $636.7 million in its lifetime in North America, and The Odyssey sits at #2 with $610.6 million cume.

How much does Godzilla Minus Zero need to become the #1 R-rated movie ever in North America?
The Japanese Kaiju movie needs more than $636.75 million at the North American box office to beat Deadpool & Wolverine to become the all-time highest-grossing R-rated movie in North America. To even break into the top 10, Godzilla Minus Zero would have to beat The Matrix Reloaded’s $281.6 million run. It is quite difficult for a foreign-language film to achieve this feat, but if it manages to even break into the top 10, it will be a solid achievement for the Godzilla film.
What is the movie about?
According to the official synopsis, Godzilla Minus Zero picks up in 1949, two years after the tumultuous events of Godzilla Minus One, and continues the story of the Shikishima family as they face a new calamity. Godzilla Minus Zero will be released in November 2026.
