Godzilla Minus One Dominates Netflix, Grosses $115M Worldwide; Sequel and B&W Version Teased
June 3, 2024Director Takashi Yamazaki's film 'Godzilla Minus One' debuted on Netflix on June 1, 2024, achieving global success and topping the Netflix movie chart.
The film has grossed over $115 million worldwide on a $15 million budget, breaking box office records.
Praised for its character-driven story set in post-WWII Japan, the film explores Godzilla's origins through kamikaze pilot Kōichi Shikishima.
Despite high demand for a physical media release, Director Yamazaki is interested in continuing the Godzilla saga with more monsters and a focus on human stories.
While a direct sequel is not confirmed, the success on Netflix suggests potential future installments in the franchise.
A black-and-white version of the film will be released later this summer, with options for subtitles or dubbing on VOD platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV.
