Blast from the past...

Man, It's a shame Hiya Toys aren't sold over here, They're actually affordable unlike SHMA

And this is it. Godzilla x Kong has either ended its theatrical run or it's just making so little that it's no longer being tracked. The final numbers from last week remain the same.

Being almost the polar opposite of Godzilla Minus One in terms of success, Godzilla x Kong ends its run with 1.71 Billion Yen ($11.03 Million) the lowest-grossing Monsterverse film in Japan. It is the 7th least attended Godzilla movie in Japanese box office history and the 4th least-attended live-action Godzilla film in Japanese box office history.

Charts final.

Guys, these aren't new rules. These have been in place since after 1998. Nothing new.

Probably just means eating, Since hunting and attacking are too vague to define

Not to mention, would be hard to write a ca movie with thoae restrictions 

I wonder to what extent "preying" means. Eating yes but this sounds more like an expansion of that requirement, as if Godzilla can not consciously attack or hunt or pursue people or things. Leaving him to be some ominous destructive entity with no personal vendetta?

These aren't really new rules, We know Toho did not want Godzilla eating other Kaiju as far back as Godzilla vs Biollante, Deutalios was cut for that very reason 

I believe it applies to any and all uses of the Godzilla character so that would include the Monsterverse.

I remember Kameobas V.6 started one of these before it got deleted

Now is this only for the Monsterverse incarnation or all franchise-wide incarnations?

So much for a good Minus One sequel. I was looking forward for a sequel where either Godzilla and the monster he fought in the sequel were equally evil or Godzilla went through major character development before "saving" humanity from the kaiju, but this new rule just ruined either chances of happening.

Hi, I think it's a good idea to do this.

The 8th weekend of Godzilla x Kong in Japanese theaters finally broke 1.70 Billion Yen with 1.71 Billion Yen ($11.16 Million). It is currently at an estimated 1.17 Million in attendance. (Movie Web Media Editor-and-Chief) Despite the movement, it continues to be the 7th least-attended Godzilla film of all time for nearly four weeks. The question is whether or not it can crawl fast enough to tie or surpass Tokyo SOS.

Charts updated.

The important thing to take away from this is that it is the highest grossing movie in this series, and with the lowest budget of the five! Pretty impressive. You said "It contributed very little to the Worldwide achievement of becoming the highest-grossing Monsterverse film in the world." Well, without that 11 million or so, it doesn't do that. I'd say that's a decent contribution. Perhaps in the overall series of Godzilla films in Japan, it didn't do well, but overall, it pretty much kicked ass.

7th weekend in Japan and Godzilla x Kong is all but dead outside the top 10. It contributed very little to the Worldwide achievement of becoming the highest-grossing Monsterverse film in the world. (Deadline) The last week saw it jump from 1.67 Billion Yen to 1.69 Billion Yen ($11.03 Million). Its attendance went from 1.14 Million last week to just under 1.16 Million. (Movie Web Media Editor-and-Chief) It has barely passed Attack on Titan: Part II in gross but lags too far behind it, and Godzilla vs. Kong's attendance to surpass them. Tokyo SOS's attendance is in range, but it's unlikely it will pass the 2003 flop at this point.

Charts updated.

I'll look into it and talk to Chris. TY for the suggestion, Nicozilla!

This isn't exactly an update, but for the sake of accuracy the exact numbers for Godzilla Minus One's theatrical take have been released:

Final Gross: 7,596,609,380 Yen
Final Attendance: 5,039,831

Only one chart needed to be updated, via these numbers, for rounding purposes. Once again, congratulations to Godzilla Minus One's historic run.

For its 6th weekend in Japan, Godzilla x Kong had no rebound into the top 10. It accumulated 30 Million Yen over the last 7 days for a total of 1.67 Billion Yen ($10.9 Million). Its attendance has climbed from 1.11 Million last week to 1.14 Million. (Movie Web Media Editor-and-Chief) It still lags behind Godzilla: Tokyo SOS's 1.20 Million and Godzilla vs. Kong's 1.27 Million.

Due to how little movement there's been, it remains the 7th least-attended Godzilla film. (4th least-attended live action.)

Included is how each of the recent live action Godzilla movies did by their 6th weekend in Japan.

6th Weekend Comparisons:
Shin Godzilla:
6.02 Billion Yen / $58.4 Million / 3.74M Attendance
Godzilla Minus One:
4.15 Billion Yen / $28.5 Million / 2.70M Attendance
Shin Ultraman:
3.84 Billion Yen / $29.7 Million / 2.57M Attendance
Godzilla 2014:
2.99 Billion Yen / $29.3 Million / 2.09M Attendance
Godzilla: King of the Monsters:
2.70 Billion Yen / $25.6 Million / 1.91M Attendance
Godzilla vs. Kong:
1.81 Billion Yen / $16.5 Million / 1.20M Attendance
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire:
1.67 Billion Yen / $10.9 Million / 1.14M Attendance

FINALLY

We must have been writing at the same time, i didn't realize you got this news up moments before I posted an article for it too! Lol

Godzilla x Kong's 5th weekend in Japan saw it knocked out of the Top 10, making it the fastest live-action Godzilla film to fall out of the Top 10 in the last 10 years. Over the last week, it has jumped from 1.56 Billion Yen to 1.63 Billion Yen ($10.64 Million). (Movie Web Media Editor-and-Chief) Its attendance has finally broken 1.10 Million with 1,108,163 in attendance--short of Godzilla: Tokyo SOS and over 160,000 behind its predecessor, Godzilla vs. Kong.

With it being outside of the top 10 it'll be tougher to track and it's unlikely it will move many more numbers. Though there's a slim chance it could pass 2003's Tokyo SOS, it's likely to remain the 7th least-attended Godzilla film.

Charts updated.

Godzilla Unleashed is my favorite Godzilla Game.
I even want to say that I had a blast playing this crazy game and ended up feeling invincible against the other monsters and the army.

Anime is short for animation :skull:

Last Airbender is simply an animation series not an anime. Japan does not consider those as anime. Those are simply cartoons and Shrek is an animation movie. Even if you look those up they’re categorized as either cartoon series or Animation. Anything western is not Japanese or anime.

On the whole anime vs cartoon vs western animation front. The Japanese consider all things animation as anime that includes Bugs Bunny, Spongebob and Shrek

I also think it’s a good idea to integrate it.

then what should we call it (not a cartoon)

It’s nice to see these figures, good news!

Anime specifically refers to a style exclusively in Japan by the Japanese. It's simply called animation in the western world since they can't adopt the same style the Japanese can no matter how hard westerners try. The Last Airbender is a great example not being qualified as an anime

Weekend 4 for Godzilla x Kong in Japan saw it drop from 5th to 9th with a total of 1.56 Billion Yen. ($10.2 Million) It finally crossed the 1 million attendance milestone with 1.06 Million, having beaten Pacific Rim's gross and attendance. It has beaten Godzilla Final Wars in terms of attendance as well. It is now the 32nd highest-attended Godzilla movie out of 38. (Out of 35 live action.)

Unfortunately, it's starting to lose theaters and once it drops out of the top 10 it will be much more difficult to track. (Although not many movies move the needle very far once they drop out of the top 10 anyway.) It seems unlikely it will hit GvK's numbers, but if it does it will be a crawl. (Movie Web Media Editor-and-Chief, FranSpeech)

YOOOO THATS EPIC!!!!!

Will they do Mecha king Ghidorah?

anime doesn't need to be in japan, other countries might as well make their own anime!

It's not an anime since it's not made in Japan lol and Monarch G-team were pointless characters. Also hire Jared Modina for the Monsterverse films please and let him do the job since his work is way better than the other artists who worked on the previous films especially for the Toho monsters lol. It's clear that he’s a fan and knows the monsters better than the directors.

None of the MV movies have crushed it there. Anything it makes there is gravy. Hell, the '98 movie blew all of them away, attendance wise, so...

At the end of its run, New Empire should be the most successful in the series, and with the lowest budget. That's impressive any which way you want to slice it.

I'm happy for New Empire's overall worldwide success, but man is it sad to see Godzilla's box office numbers not do well in his home country.

In its 2nd weekend, Godzilla x Kong remained at #2 with 1.266 Billion Yen ($7.45 Million) and an attendance of 856,851 in 11 days. (Movie Web Media Editor-and-Chief, FranSpeech) At the moment it is the lowest-attended live-action Godzilla movie in Japan, but that should change by next weekend.
