We let the cat out of the bag days ago regarding when you can see Shin Godzilla (Godzilla Resurgence) here in the U.S., and now we have all the details you need!
From the Press Release:
The iconic science-fiction monster Godzilla makes landfall in the U.S. and Canada this October with the North American theatrical release of Shin Godzilla from Toho Company, Ltd. Fans have been clamoring for news of the film’s theatrical dates ever since Funimation Films made its surprise acquisition announcement in July at San Diego Comic-Con 2016. And today the company officially announced that Shin Godzilla will roar into theaters for a limited engagement from October 11-18. The movie will screen in more than 440 theaters across the U.S. and Canada. Tickets for Shin Godzilla will be available for pre-purchase on the official film website beginning on September 9.
Co-directed by Hideaki Anno (creator of Evangelion) and Shinji Higuchi (director of Toho’s 2015 Attack on Titan live action movies), Shin Godzilla is the 29th Godzilla film produced by Toho and represents a brand new chapter in the 62-year history of this celebrated movie monster. The film stars Hiroki Hasegawa and Satomi Ishihara – both also from the Attack on Titan live action movies – as well as Yutaka Takenouchi.
In Shin Godzilla (Godzilla Resurgence), an unknown accident occurs in Tokyo Bay’s Aqua Line, which causes an emergency cabinet to assemble. All of a sudden, a giant creature immediately appears, destroying town after town, with its landing reaching the capital. This mysterious giant monster is named “Godzilla.”
Shin Godzilla has been a big hit in Japan since its opening on July 29, 2016, which garnered a box office of ¥ 845,675,500 and total audience of 564,332 during its first three days. To date in Japan, the movie has grossed ¥ 5,302,014,700 at the box office and 3,637,748 in total attendance.
In advance of the movie’s opening, Funimation will be hosting two premieres of Shin Godzilla – on October 3 in Los Angeles and on October 5 in New York – before opening day of New York Comic Con 2016. Additional details on these two events will be announced.
