New Update: Brooks3000 just joined Team Godzilla.

UPDATE 3/31/2023:
Sort of difficult to say what happened last weekend as my usual translated sources didn't deliver. According to Kogyotsushin Shin Kamen Rider only fell to 3rd place to earn an estimated total of 1.14 Billion Yen. ($8.7 million estimated) (Pixiin) The estimated attendance sits around 728,000.

Also Gridman Universe opened #5 for the weekend. It earned and estimated 160 Million Yen ($1.2 million estimated) with, again as an estimate, 102,000 in attendance. (Pixiin) I don't expect the movie to stay in the top 10 for long. It opened to 151 theaters which is only 51 above limited release numbers.

Posting charts because this is the most info we had, even though it's not confirmed actuals.

I mean, I never did watch Evangelion.  But it is interesting to think about.  Kind of like what would of happened if Godzilla '98 was actually faithful to the source material and was a hit.

Any new information on this game?

UPDATE 3/25/2023:
Last weekends official numbers came late. Shin Kamen Rider finished at #2 for the weekend behind My Happy Marriage with 541.9 Million Yen ($4.1 Million). A little lower than previously reported. The weekend attendance was 345,446, already surpassing recent genre finale numbers such as the Polygon Godzilla Anime Trilogy (which didn't have nearly the number of theaters as Shin Kamen Rider) and Rampage. (Box Office Theory via Kogyotsushin, Pixiin)

No word on how it's been doing over the week other than it has remained in the top 3 at the box office. Numbers for the second weekend should be out soon. Charts for the opening weekend are up.

Unless they're doing what Singular Point did (recycling older kaiju designs and trying to pass them off as "new" and "original"), I think it's safe to say that it's Jiger.

Not a big Gamera fan but the poster is really cool!

I didn't know that

I wonder if Evangelion would have still been a hit if everything went more smoothly and according to schedule?

After that, the radiation will destroy vegetation and cause cancers, even mutations, and then, as a result of all this, your mother country will become uninhabitable and Japan will not exist."

Xenotaris,
As I understand it, he was still struggling with it.

I didn't know that. Wait was Anno recovering from depression or was he in his depression while making Neon Genesis Evangelion?

Xenotaris,

Didn't help that Anno didn't finish the teleplay for the final episodes days before they were suppose to air.

Continuing on with battle line sticker quotes:

I heard that originally Neon Genesis Evangelion was supposed to be a 50 Episode Anime but after Episode 18, moral guardians in Japan freaked out over the violence in that episode.

The part where Evangelion Unit 03 and to a lesser extent its pilot Touji being mercilessly ripped apart by a dummy plug controlled Evangelion Unit 01.

The production company GAINAX had their budget cut for the rest of evangelion's production hence why the show was reduced down to 26 episodes and why infamous scenes like the extended elevator scene and the last two episodes were implemented (due to budget reasons) 

Monsterzero9,

Who do you think runs it?

 "The major cities of the world are being destroyed one-by-one by the monsters: Moscow by Rodan, Peking by Mothra, London by Manda, Paris by Baragon. And, here's a special news bulletin: Godzilla is now in New York City. The city is being invaded by Godzilla!"
