"Shin Godzilla" Earned $20.5 Million In Japan

Shin Godzilla (Godzilla Resurgence) is doing something that the last Toho Godzilla production didn't: it is cleaning up at the Japanese box office.

Forbes.com reported:

The recently released Godzilla Resurgence has earned 2.1 billion yen in its first two weeks in Japan. 

That’s equivalent to around $20.51 million and the film is projected to make around 40 billion yen at the Japanese box office (or approximately $39 million). 

For a Japanese domestic release these are very good numbers indeed and if this continues on Godzilla Resurgence will easily outpace the Japanese earnings for the 2014 version of Godzilla. 

With glowing reviews from critics in Japan, the biggest factor in creating this kind of box office success has been very the strong word of mouth from the public.
