And upon closer research, multiple people are reporting Godzilla's screen time in the new movie at about 10:26-10:28 which puts...

Godzilla '14 - 8.5%

But we'll see if Jokercluster's conclusion is the same by the time he reaches the film. Just for the sake of consistency.

LEGENDARY

Godzilla '14 - 8.5%

That percentage for MG2 is a pretty big deal. Never would have guessed it had more screen time for him than Hedorah did. Some of us thought SpaceGodzilla had a lot, but now it turns out it's average for Heisei. The mind boggles just a little bit.

The only one here that really surprises me is Mothra'92 - I could've sworn Godzilla's screentime was far FAR smaller than that.

EDIT: Looking over what Jockercluster posted, now I understand why I thought that. It's because Godzilla only appears in four scenes! Godzilla doesn't appear until 30 minutes in for the 5 minute fight with the Mothra and Battra larvae (fine, typical), but then doesn't reappear again at all until at least 30 minutes after that, so about two-thirds of his 15 minutes of screentime are in the movie's last 20 to 30 minutes. Even for all the complaints about G'14, we at least had brief scenes every few minutes throughout the middle third reminding us Godzilla was there! Cut Godzilla's attack on the ship and fight with Battra (not THAT hard, frankly), the result is a movie where he doesn't actually show up until over 60 minutes into a 100 minute movie!

People have similar complaints about G'14, sure, but G'14 was a better movie. I can forgive G'14, I struggle to forgive GvM'92.

As of today, Joker Cluster has finished the series. He gives Godzilla's screen time in G2014 as 9:56.
