KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 13 — Japanese blockbuster Godzilla Minus Zero has stomped straight to the top of the Malaysian box office, raking in RM6.8 million in its opening frame to claim the nationwide crown.

Momentum for director Takashi Yamazaki’s anticipated monster sequel had been building well before opening weekend, fuelled by enthusiastic buzz across Malaysian social feeds following early preview screenings on November 4. The follow-up to the acclaimed Godzilla Minus One continues to pack local cinema halls, comfortably outpacing the competition.

Homegrown cinematic heavyweight Kudrat 1968: High Council slipped into second spot after a commanding run, while Indian titles mounted a formidable collective surge. Action movie Scene, epic mythological release Ramayana: Rise of a Legend, and devotional comedy sequel Mookuthi Amman 2 all locked in spots within the local top 10.

On the streaming front, television leaderboards saw notable shake-ups. South Korean thriller Dead-End Job finally unseated long-running medical drama Doctor X: Mafia in White from the summit of Netflix Malaysia. A parallel handover unfolded on Viu, where local revenge drama Bayangan Dendam edged past The Hidden Hand (Dia Perempuan Sialan) to capture the number one position.
