And how might that have happened? Well, it is all thanks to Godzilla Minus One topping the box office. On Monday, the daily box office totals puts the film in first place which marks a historic rank for Toho’s Godzilla franchise.

As you can imagine, this box office accolade has put Godzilla Minus One in a nice spot. By taking the top spot at the domestic box office, the kaiju flick broke a 19-year-old record.
