Nearly two months after it hit theaters, Toho/Emick Media’s “Godzilla Minus One” has just hit a rare milestone, passing Bong Joon-ho’s Best Picture Oscar winner “Parasite” to become one of the top 3 highest grossing non-English films in U.S. box office history.

The record is thanks in part to a special black-and-white recut of the film called “Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color,” which hit theaters this past Friday for a one-week limited engagement. The new version added $2.6 million to the film’s American cume — its highest weekend total since New Year’s weekend, — to bring it to $55 million, passing the $53.3
