The film “Godzilla-1.0” has broken through 6 billion yen in domestic box office revenue and has attracted over 3.92 million viewers. This record was achieved within 122 days of its release.
According to Official X, it has become the top-grossing live-action movie released in 2023, including the monochrome version “Godzilla-1.0/C.”
The movie “Godzilla-1.0,” which has caused a significant stir overseas, is the latest installment in the series, having been released since November 3, 2023.
As part of the “Godzilla” series, it is the first new live-action film in seven years since “Shin Godzilla.” On January 12, 2024, the monochrome version titled “Godzilla-1.0/C” (Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color) was also released.
While its domestic box office revenue has not reached the 82.5 billion yen of “Shin Godzilla,” the combined global box office revenue as of January 12, 2024, has surpassed 14 billion yen, receiving high praise worldwide.
As proof of such acclaim, the film continues to receive nominations and awards at international film festivals, becoming a blockbuster in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Mexico, topping the box office revenue of all-time live-action Japanese films.
It has updated the record of the Korean movie “Parasite: A Half Basement Family” and ranked third in the all-time box office revenue for foreign language live-action films released in North America.
Expectations for the U.S. Academy Award for Visual Effects Among the international reactions, the nomination for the U.S. Academy Award for Visual Effects has become a significant topic of conversation as it is the first selection for a Japanese film. Given that recent blockbusters like “DUNE” and “Avatar: The Way of Water” have won in this category, the results are eagerly anticipated by Japan.
The results of the U.S. Academy Awards will be announced at the award ceremony on the morning of March 11th (Monday), Japan time. In Japan, the ceremony will be broadcast live from 7 AM on WOWOW.
