Shin Godzilla NON-SPOILER news and info

I'm glad it's doing well, whether or not I like it. It's proving the character is viable.

My hope is that Toho doesn't just keep pumping them out fast. Realize that we need some time off in between movies to let them breathe and build. Maybe not 12 years, but you know...3 or 4.

^I'm hoping this bodes well for Kadokawa's Gamera film... and possibly any other theoretical Japanese kaiju film: wouldn't it be cool if a studio that doesn't own a Godzilla or Gamera type franchise made an original kaiju?

Also, with a one-two punch of Godzilla 2 and Godzilla vs. Kong in '19 an '20, that leaves '18 wide open for Toho to release another film and not compete with themselves.

Summer 2018 gives them plenty of time. G2 being delayed might have helped Toho with that decision.

At the same time the wait between G'14 and Godzilla 2 may as well be a reboot as far as momentum goes.

Not sure if anyone has seen this yet, but it's a visual FX breakdown of Shin Godzilla. Most impressive!

Shin might be have made 20 million already, but let's not call this the most successful Godzilla film just yet. Tickets are something like $18 bucks a pop. It's sold roughly 1.2 million tickets. Tokyo SOS has sold more as of right now (per ticket sale numbers posted at TK). If people want others not to rush to judgment about this being a good or bad movie, they should also stop reporting it as being the most successful Godzilla movie to date. We can call it that if and when it reaches that mark.

And by the way, I want this movie to perform well because I want Toho to invest in another movie, but fan overreaction is strong with this film. Erm, maybe with every new film..

Maybe having someone with a background in traditional animation was a smart move for a CG heavy film

Dipping in and out of this soundtrack since all the tracks have shown up on Youtube. One thing's for certain: people may be split between loving this film and hating it, but I don't see how you can say the music isn't amazing.

Have ALL the tracks popped up finally? Last I checked it was only a few, but what I heard I overall enjoyed quite a bit.

I won't know the Evangelion stuff from the new stuff. I've seen the series once and pretty readily dismissed it from my mind as I didn't like it.

This OBSESSING over the box office is pointless. It's not a failure. It's not the most successful Godzilla movie ever.

[Gargantuan Gargantua]

I wonder what that magical number is to make Toho green light any sequels? Maybe they are curious about the international numbers before making any decisions as well?
