Godzilla Minus Zero easily defeats The Cat In The Hat at the box office

The Cat In The Hat, meanwhile, opened to $20 million—an especially low figure when you consider that it played in about 750 more cinemas than Godzilla Minus Zero did. As a point of comparison, we’ll note that the last Cat In The Hat movie—the widely-derided, nightmare-fueling 2003 version starring Mike Meyers—made over $38 million in its opening weekend over 20 years ago while playing in about 550 fewer locations. Still, 2026’s Cat hasn’t been received very well by critics, either; The A.V. Club‘s Jacob Oller referred to it as “generic, interchangeable, and saccharine” in his review, and it currently sits at just 44% on Rotten Tomatoes. (But, in case Taika Waititi is reading this, we’ll note that the audience score is 88%.) 

In this place this weekend was another Angel Studios joint: Drummer Boy, which is shockingly not about the boy from the song who pa-rum-pum-pum-pummed but a movie set during the American Revolution. Further down the list, You Can See Everything managed to best Clayface yet again, while new releases Ramayana, Wild Horse Nine, and Jimmy all managed to reach the top ten.
