Sci-Fi Godzilla Minus One

[Predator jp]

Like I said, likely lazy conversion. 100 yen to 1 usd is a popular conversion rate, just for sake of simplicity, even if it is no where near the actual conversion rate.

you are 100% correct but it doesn't make much of a difference in the grand scheme of things lol.

1.5 billion yen / 100 yen to 1 usd = $15m / 150 yen to 1 usd = $10m

 

[The Big G]

Right now its about $146 Yen to the Dollar

Hope this cool movie gets a 4K disc release in the US. It looked really good in the movie theater. It didn't really bother me at all that it was a sub movie with no English in it.

I want a steel case.

I want a steel case.

I have a bad feeling I'd not only put money down for a steelbook, but even the Japanese blu ray release especially if it has English subtitles, just so I can have it in my home early.

Holy **** this movie was awesome, it's always kind of surreal to watch a Godzilla movie and actually care about the human characters, it happens so rarely. This wasn't just a really good Godzilla film, this was a really good film in general.

Bit of an update for me:

I found out that Minus One is playing at my local Landmark Cinemas in my town after looking it up online! So excited to see this really soon, as I was worried this wouldn’t be the case.

Been meaning to ask, you been able to see this yet?

 

[Pennywise]

Have you seen it yet?

Holy hell this was good.

 

[The Big G]

Looks like GMO is getting extended out further

 

[SomeOldGuy]

Had some more international results dribble in yesterday. Up to 57.3m WW. UK and Brazil openings this weekend.

 

[Arachnerd]

Jusr found out Minus One is coming out here in December 28th and I'm a very happy camper.

 

[Pennywise]

It’s official: I am seeing the film on Sunday with my friend who’s an even bigger Godzilla fan than I am.

If it wasn’t for the tip from @DKDetective about Landmark Cinemas, it would have slipped past me as I almost always go to Cineplex in my town. Appreciate it, man! up:

Toho has to be utterly bamboozled about how much $$$ this movie is making

 

[Sithborg]

Considering Shin Godzilla did all of $2 million, hell, even Godzilla 2000 only did $10 million here, yeah, Toho is pretty happy at the moment. Hell, it is going to surpass the last two Dragon Ball movies this weekend.

 

[TheVileOne]

My recollection is that Shin Godzilla did not have much of a US theatrical release and it also took much longer to go to the US?

Yes, it was a one/two night only kind of thing.

 

[Arachnerd]

The success of Minus One so far should hopefully convince Toho to focus all the more on the international market for their future Godzilla flicks.

 

[TheVileOne]

Yes, it was a one/two night only kind of thing.

Still, $1.9 million from such a limited engagement is still pretty good.

But Minus One is going to finish with like 4.0x multiplier at this point, if not higher for its domestic total, which I'm just happy to see in general because I want to see theaters getting a win somewhere.

To me, what things like Godzilla Minus One and the Taylor Swift ERAS thing tell me, theaters need to give audiences something they can't get anywhere else. Something they can't get with streaming or gaming or on our devices. If they can figure out how to meet that demand, people will buy tickets to see it.

Even something like The Boy and the Heron, it feels like an event. I mean I hope Miyazaki makes another film if he wants to, but it might very well be his last film, but it's still a masterpiece.

This, and they can do it themselves without a US distribution partner. IE Sony handled the US release of Godzilla 2000 23 years ago.
