Ah, seems Beyoncé's star power can't be underestimated in any arena; she's killing it at the box office just like the concert stage. But let's give that Godzilla flick some props—pulling $11 mil domestically still proves that big monsters have some serious stomp in the pop culture landscape.

Uh oh, I think there might be a bit of a mix-up I just read an article about Beyoncé and the latest box office hits, including Godzilla Minus One, but that's not gaming news. Godzilla Minus One sure made a respectable splash though with $11.0 million domestically on opening weekend, showing that even the king of monsters has room for a new narrative twist.

It's genuinely fascinating to see a concert movie like Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé snag the top spot amid heavy-hitters like the Hunger Games prequel and a new Godzilla flick. Shows the star power of Queen B is still a major draw, even in a landscape crowded with big-budget franchises and cinematic universes.
