GODZILLA MINUS ZERO overperforms and scores America’s highest-grossing opening day of ALL TIME for a foreign-language live-action film.
It opened to $14.5M and is now on track for a $30M+ domestic debut, nearly 3x as much as MINUS ONE.

I love that we exist in a world where both Japan and the US are able to make successful Godzilla movies that cross over between both Japanese and American audiences.
Monsterverse's biggest accomplishment was that Japan liked our take on Godzilla.
#GodzillaMinusZero was a thunderously powerful cinematic event. Taking the work that Minus One did and expanding the characters, reach of this world and its grave stakes.
There are moments here that will truly linger, emotional power amidst the plot and action set piece punch and a soul to it all that is brutal and yet beautiful to witness on the screen. I won't ruin too much but suffice to say the return of the King delivers! #GodzillaMinusZero
We're lucky to live in an age where Godzilla thrives domestically and internationally with the Monster-Verse's different and equally fulfilling take. What an earth-shaking, ear-rumbling and heart-grasping cinema experience. Do not miss it. Awesome. #GodzillaMinusZero
#AliGWhoIzI was not Sacha Baron Cohen's greatest mockumentary satire achievement (Borat, Borat 2, Bruno) but in resurrecting a percieved past its time character I respect the intention here in showcasing the extremeties of the right and left alike.
Making some comments on deranged powers that be and a cult like hive mind. I have seen Cohen drop our jaws with more insane real people than this (in spite of one particular extreme here) and bust our sides with more laughs but I enjoyed it overall. #AliGWhoIzI
A few things here were inspired and as a send off for a divisive character a particular generation (mine) recalls, this was appropriate and made with worthwhile still timely point, with some hits and misses but a lot of commitment. #AliGWhoIzI

John Goodman says "it hurt" when critics hated "Digger" and "it kinda killed us before we even opened."
“[The headlines like]: ‘This will only make $5.’ It was good reason for people to avoid it. I am proud of it. I had a ball doing it. It was a good six months out of my life. It is a huge swing. It’s going to be around for a long time... Unfortunately, I have to say that [I do care what critics think]. I have to be very honest. I used to be less so. Maybe I am getting old and pathetic and it’s like, ‘Don’t hit me again!’ I put so much into this film and here you go. I am over it now. I am proud I did it... everything I have done for the Coen Brothers flopped initially… so who cares, man? I still have people coming up to me in the streets asking me about ‘Barton Fink’ and ‘Big Lebowski.'” (via Happy Sad Confused)

Devastating news, for many he is THE Professor X but he was an actor with a real unreplicatable presence from the aura of Star Trek to laughter of Family Guy or the menace Green Room to the scary antagonist in Conspiracy Theory. That voice too...legend. #RIPPatrickStewart.
