Godzilla: King of the Monsters, directed by Takashi Yamazaki, has now been released on Netflix. The movie received an OTT release on June 1, after a successful theatrical run in November 2023. During its time in theatres, the movie earned a significant 959 crore ($115 million) against a production budget of 125 crore ($15 million).
The Japanese movie is available on Netflix in multiple languages, including Japanese, English, Hindi, Italian, and German. It can also be streamed on platforms such as Amazon, Apple iTunes, Google Play, and Microsoft.
Earlier, Godzilla: King of the Monsters made history by becoming the first Godzilla movie in 70 years to win an Oscar Award. It won the award for Best Visual Effects at the 96th Academy Awards, beating movies like Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
The story of Godzilla: King of the Monsters takes place shortly after World War II, when a huge threat appears near Tokyo. Koichi, a soldier haunted by his first encounter with Godzilla, views this as a chance to make up for his actions during the war.
Japanese film production company Toho Group, founded in 1932, has been a major player in the film industry both domestically and internationally. The company produces, distributes, and exhibits films. Toho president and CEO Hiro Matsuoka has expressed the company’s ambitions to expand into Hollywood.
“North America is a top priority market for our global strategy, and we believe that working out of Hollywood is the best way to deliver our content globally,” Matsuoka said.
