Godzilla Minus Zero Opens in Japan on Godzilla Day

Godzilla Minus Zero (ゴジラ-0.0) opened in Japanese theaters on November 3, 2026 — Godzilla Day, which marks the anniversary of the original 1954 film. The release comes three years after Godzilla Minus One became an international success and established director Takashi Yamazaki as a major figure in the franchise's modern era. Yamazaki's previous installment, Godzilla Minus One (ゴジラ-1.0), won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, drawing renewed global attention to Toho's long-running kaiju series. North American audiences will be able to see the new film from November 6, when specialist distributor GKIDS begins its wide theatrical release across the region. Other international markets have varying release dates, with some opening earlier in the week and others following later in November. Viewers in Japan looking for English subtitles are advised to check individual theater listings before booking.
