Godzilla Minus One has been one of the most critically and commercially successful releases in the Godzilla franchise in quite a while, and now the newest TOHO entry has ranked as one of 2023’s top movies! Godzilla Minus One is part of the 70th Anniversary celebration for TOHO’s famous kaiju, and although the MonsterVerse has helped Godzilla take over the world in the last few years, Godzilla Minus One has quickly become the most successful Japanese Godzilla film release in franchise history in just the few months it has been making its way through theaters around the world.ย
