ASK ME ABOUT BEING ALLERGIC TO POSITIVITY

The Monarch website has been updated with profiles for all of the featured Monarch personnel in the film bar a couple of exceptions. Interestingly it disproved one major fan theory.

He didn't spend 6 years at Skull Island University just to "disguise" himself as a scientist.

Tickets are starting to go on sale. Anyone else doing IMAX?

My local IMAX only had about 6 seats sold as of an hour ago. I guess Endgame skewed my sense of hype, but I thought they'd be disappearing quicker. :shrug:

I live a few minutes from one, so it'd be a sin against the old gods if I didn't.

It really makes me happy to see these characters treated with such care. Now I'm hoping Sideshow puts out an awesome and beautiful Mothra statue.

I love that this movie's aesthetic is basically "what if the posters for the Heisei movies were what the movies actually looked like"

SpaceGodzilla has gotta be one of the all-time biggest disparities between poster quality and movie quality

If I was a little bit more financially fluid/was not also seeing Detective Pikachu this month, I'd be a bit more on board to spring for the IMAX, but I think I might just go the normal 10 bucks at the theater near my apartment.

I'm in pretty much the same boat but I figure if I'm going to spend the extra $$$ on an IMAX ticket for any film it'd be this one

Yeah, my IMAX is about the same amount away and their tickets are not actually on sale yet outside of Fandango, and I wanna make sure I have my ticket soon so I know if I can cover a shift on Friday.

The last movie I saw in IMAX was Interstellar (worth it), The Hobbit in 3D (not even close to worth it) and I think The Matrix Reloaded before that.

This kind of movie feels very much like an IMAX movie.

Aladdin and Detective Pikachu are going to be killer competition. I will be pleasantly surprised if this does better than G'14's 200 mil gross. We get G vs Kong either way so whatever.

Just for fun, my prediction:

final worldwide gross for this movie: 550 million.
Rotten Tomatoes: 69% critic score, 75% audience

So is King of the Monsters technically the first Reiwa era Godzilla movie? Or are they keeping it exclusive to Toho productions?

By any measure, it would be.

But going off of history, Shin will likely be considered the honorary 'first' Reiwa Era film, much in the same way Return of Godzilla is considered the first Heisei Era film.

Which isn't too bad a thing, they're a good paralel for one another and both kickstarted a brand new era of Japanese Godzilla films that would start way later.

Since King of the Monsters isn't a Japanese production, though, it'll likely just be considered a Legendary Godzilla film or whatever subset those films get.

My father, who has never really watched Godzilla movies except incidentally (and didn't even realize King of the Monsters is a sequel) is excited for King of the Monsters. Anecdotal, but I'd say the Big G's trailers have been very effective.
