Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures’ GODZILLA reached some box office milestone this weekend. Propelled by grosses in Japan, the film has now taken in $307.3 million internationally and $507.4 million worldwide.
Rough estimates from Toho put GODZILLA’s 2nd weekend in Japan at ¥324.2 million (Approximately $3.2 million US) from approximately 427 screens. GODZILLA ranked #2 behind Warner Bros. Japan’s debuting RUROUNI KENSHIN: KYOTO INFERNO (るろうに剣心 京都大火編, Rurouni Kenshin Kyoto Taika Hen). The estimated cume to date in Japan is now ¥1.54 billion (Approximately $15.1 million US).
The good news continued on the domestic front as the film finally passed $200 million at the box office in America. As recently as mid-July it appeared that GODZILLA would fall short of that mark, but during the second half of the month it received the needed bump in ticket sales from second-run and discount theaters.
GODZILLA will be released on Blu-ray and DVD September 16th. Legendary Pictures recently announced that director Gareth Edwards would return for sequels featuring Godzilla’s most popular Toho co-stars: Rodan, Mothra and King Ghidorah.
