There is no word yet on whether this will be a direct sequel to the Oscar-winning Godzilla Minus One, or a brand new standalone film that’s only technically a “sequel” like superhero franchises that reboot or retcon. Recent releases from Toho have been unique re-imaginings of the monster and series, but Yamazaki-san’s film ends in a way that certain sets up a sequel. And of course, audiences and fans of the franchise have been vocal about wanting a follow-up.
This weekend’s re-release is significant not merely for Godzilla Day and the anniversary itself, but also because it could help the film change box office history once again.
As I explained ahead of the re-release, Godzilla Minus One is a mere $828,600 to pass Life Is Beautiful as the second-highest grossing foreign language movie in U.S. history. The film is already TOHO’s biggest Godzilla film worldwide and the most successful Japanese live-action North American release of all time.
