Mothra (1961) Blu-ray steelbook from Mill Creek

[lhb412]

Watched both versions of the film and all the extras. I'm gonna make a pronouncement: third best NA kaiju release on Blu after Criterion's Godzilla '54 and Mill Creeks Daimajim trilogy.

Note: Columbia's trailer titles the film "Mothra: The Monster God." Did they use this title anywhere else?

I really am liking my Mothra Steelbook. This is the first steelbook I've felt worth buying. Are there any other kaiju steelbooks I should know about?

This apparently sold an estimated 17,069 copies in its first week:

^ That is fantastic! It's great to see a classic kaiju masterpiece like Mothra make such a splash in North America. I'm sure that Mothra's inclusion in Godzilla: King of the Monsters this year was the perfect primer for Mill Creek's release.


I'll be very interested to see if Criterion's Godzilla set charts similarly.

Yes, it's been on backorder in a lot of online store (besides Amazon, of course) since release.

I saw it in the wild at Best Buy the other day, which made me very happy. I didn't realize it was so widely available to the masses!
