Godzilla Minus Zero Sets November Release in Japan and North America

The North American release comes via GKIDS, signaling a return for Takashi Yamazaki with Shirogumi after Minus One’s Oscar win.

Overview

  • The film opens in Japan on November 3, 2026, with a North American theatrical release set for November 6 via GKIDS.
  • Director, writer, and VFX supervisor Takashi Yamazaki returns, with Shirogumi on visual effects and ROBOT producing as production continues at Toho Studios.
  • Plot and casting remain under wraps, though the title reveal came at Godzilla Fest alongside officially released teaser art.
  • The Nov. 3 date aligns with the original 1954 Godzilla premiere, and the three-day gap represents a rare near-simultaneous rollout for a Japan-produced entry.
  • The follow-up leverages Godzilla Minus One’s momentum, including roughly $113–$116 million worldwide and an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects.
