Godzilla Minus One was one of the best films that released last year. The Godzilla survival thriller from Japan impressed the entire world. People even called it better than Godzilla’s Monsterverse counterpart. The film was only made on a budget of $15 million and it has amassed more than $90.3 million worldwide so far. The Takashi Yamazaki directorial released in the USA on December 1st, 2023 and it is still going strong in the cinemas. A film that was praised by the entire world, somehow didn’t make it to the largest democracy of the world – India. Fans in India, including me were desperate to witness this spectacle on the big screen but couldn’t due to the lack of distributors. However, thanks to a social media influencer we now have an update for Godzilla Minus One’s India release.
Godzilla Minus One Will Release In Indian Theatres Soon!
Two days after Godzilla Minus One’s USA release, infamous YouTuber Ashish Chanchlani posted on X (formerly known as Twitter) asking PVR Cinemas, a prominent theatre chain in India to buy Godzilla Minus One’s distribution rights so that fans in the subcontinent can enjoy the film on the big screen. His post read, “Hi, @PVRCinemas it’s a sincere request from a lot of us. PLEASE BUY GODZILLA MINUS ONE DISTRIBUTION IN INDIA. We all need to witness it on the big screen. “
Considering the fan following of the YouTuber, PVR Cinemas replied to him on X. They said, “Your request has been duly noted, and we have initiated discussions with our team to explore the possibilities of releasing GODZILLA MINUS ONE in India. In the meantime, feel free to stay connected with us on our official channels for the latest updates and announcements.”
Twelve days since this interaction, Chanchlani once again posted on X and provided us with an update regarding the Japanese film’s release,
“Yo guys inside news Godzilla minus one is coming to India for sure. They are sorting distribution rights but January looks like the potential release month” Almost a month has passed since this post and yet we don’t have any news on Godzilla Minus One’s release in India. I think it is quite clear that the film won’t be releasing in India anytime in January.
There maybe some legal issues that are preventing PVR frome bringing the film to India. For now, we can expect Godzilla Minus One to arrive in Indian theatres sometime between February to March 2024. Rest assured, if PVR Cinemas is planning to bring the Godzilla flick to India then it will certainly bring it before the release of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. It doesn’t make sense to have two Godzilla movies in theatres at the same time. The New Empire will release in the USA on April 12th, 2024, the film should release in India around the same time as well.
Godzilla Minus One is currently playing in USA theatres.
