More shockingly, Goji even beat out Finding Dory for the box office last weekend.

Judging from the reviews online and the plot, there seems to be plenty of The King in this movie unlike its 2014 US counterpart.

FUNimation plans on releasing Shin Godzilla in US theaters before the end of the year.

That's not that shocking, considering Japan is literally Godzilla's birthplace.

There were plenty of shitty Godzilla movies that didn't so hot in Japan (not even counting the two Hollywood adaptions), and generally speaking Disney movies have a broad appeal for families and have always done better than in-country titles. Eva Q being the most hyped anime movie in the last couple of years in Japan still couldn't beat out Wreck It Ralph two weeks later, and that wasn't even Pixar.
