Godzilla Minus Zero Tops the Weekend Box Office in Japan and North America

音声・ゲームはこちらから

1Godzilla Minus Zero finished first at the weekend box office in both Japan and North America. It is the first time a Japanese film has opened at No. 1 in the two markets at the same time.

2The film, directed by Takashi Yamazaki, was released in Japan on Nov. 3. Its first day there brought in 910 million yen, the most ever for a live-action film in Japan, whether Japanese or foreign. From Nov. 6 to 8, it drew about 699,000 viewers and earned about 1.13 billion yen in Japan. Over its first six days, it sold about 1.61 million tickets.

3In North America, the film opened on Nov. 6 in 3,254 theaters. It earned about 31 million dollars over its first weekend there, including early screenings. According to TheWrap, a U.S. entertainment news site, it is only the fourth movie not in English to finish first in U.S. theaters. One of the other three was Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle.

4The movie is a sequel to Godzilla Minus One, which made 11.4 million dollars on its opening weekend in North America in December 2023, TheWrap said. The new film's opening was nearly three times as big.

5Yamazaki thanked the many people who went to see the film as soon as it opened. He also said he had long looked up to Hollywood movies, and the warm welcome for the film around the world felt like a dream.

全文訳

1「ゴジラ-0.0」が、日本と北米の両方で、週末の興行収入ランキングの1位になりました。日本の映画が、公開して最初の週末に、この2つの市場で同時に1位になったのは初めてです。

2山崎貴さんが監督したこの映画は、11月3日に日本で公開されました。日本での公開初日の興行収入は9億1000万円で、邦画・洋画を合わせた実写映画で日本の歴代最高でした。11月6日から8日の3日間には、日本で約69万9000人を集め、約11億3000万円を売り上げました。公開から6日間で、約161万人が見ました。

3北米では11月6日に、3254の映画館で公開されました。そこでの最初の週末には、先行上映をふくめて約3100万ドルを売り上げました。アメリカの芸能ニュースサイト TheWrap によると、英語ではない映画がアメリカの興行収入で1位になったのは、これでわずか4本目です。ほかの3本のうちの1本は「鬼滅の刃 無限城編」でした。

4この映画は「ゴジラ-1.0」の続編です。TheWrap によると、前作は2023年12月、北米での最初の週末に1140万ドルを売り上げました。新しい映画の最初の週末は、その3倍近くでした。

5山崎さんは、公開されてすぐに映画を見に行ったたくさんの人たちに感謝しました。また、ずっとハリウッド映画にあこがれてきた自分にとって、世界中でこれほど温かく迎えられていることは夢のようだと話しました。

文法ポイント：受け身＋過去分詞の後置修飾（directed by ～）

過去分詞のまとまりが名詞を後ろから説明する形。本文の The film, directed by Takashi Yamazaki, was released in Japan on Nov. 3. では、directed by Takashi Yamazaki が The film を説明し、「山崎貴さんが監督したその映画は」となる。
