When Will Godzilla Minus One Release In Theaters?
Godzilla Minus One is the latest Toho monster movie, directed by Takashi Yamazaki. The movie will be bringing the iconic King of the Monsters back to the forefront as the main antagonist, who terrorizes Japan after World War II. With its release breaking a seven-year gap in Toho’s efforts to showcase its monsters on the big screen, Godzilla Minus One stands as a unique case – since it isn’t connected to the Monsterverse.
The film debuted in Japan on November 3, celebrating the franchise’s 70th anniversary, and is set to hit American theaters on December 1, 2023. The theatrical release, with over 1,000 screens, offers fans the best way to watch the iconic radioactive monster do what it does best – create chaos. Theatrical showtimes from Friday, December 1, and beyond are given below.
The limited release may pose challenges for some depending on the availability of showtimes in their vicinity. Regardless, there is a lot of hype for the movie and due to its focus on accessibility, it is likely the film will be a hit in the US as well.
