History

Historical Context

Toho Studios launched Godzilla in October 1954, earning ¥183 million and setting a Tokyo opening-day record. United Artists distributed the heavily edited 1956 American cut, which grossed over $2 million and introduced the monster worldwide. Building on that transnational legacy, director Takashi Yamazaki’s Godzilla Minus Zero will officially open in U.S. theaters on November 6 2026.
