Godzilla Minus One Box Office: From Earning Over 672% Of Its Production Budget To Becoming One Of The Highest-Grossing Non-English Film In The US, Revisiting Its Glorious Success!

Godzilla is one of the most loved titans by moviegoers. Several movies, comic books, video games, and other merchandise have been based on the fictional creature. This year, the King of the Monsters turns 70, and to celebrate the occasion, Godzilla Minus One will return to the theatres with something extra for fans.

The movie smashed records for the franchise at the box office. It was made on a small budget of $15 million and collected over seven times the production budget. It is the 37th film in the Godzilla franchise and Toho’s 33rd Godzilla film—the fifth movie of the franchise’s Reiwa era. Takashi Yamazaki’s movie features Ryunosuke Kamiki, who is going through post-traumatic stress disorder after encountering Gojira. It won the Best Achievement in Visual Effects at the 2024 Oscars.

The first Godzilla movie came out in 1954, a black-and-white classic, Gojira, by director Ishiro Honda. The fictional Titan turns 70 this year, and Godzilla Minus One will be re-released to celebrate that occasion. Not just that, it will also have 13 minutes of exclusive bonus content. AMC Theatres announced, “The Academy Award® Winning film is back in theatres to celebrate the King of the Monsters’ 70th anniversary, with approximately 13 minutes of exclusive bonus content to mark the release of the first film. Japan, devastated after the war, faces a new threat in the form of Godzilla. How will the country confront this impossible situation?”
