Godzilla has conquered the US box office (again) with the 4K re-release of 2016's critically-acclaimed Shin Godzilla. The film grossed $2.5 million in its opening weekend, which is more than its entire original domestic run ($1.9 million), and an impressive result for a re-released foreign film.
Produced by Toho Studios and brought back to US cinemas by GKIDS, the film sees politicians struggle to deal with the appearance of a giant monster that levels up every time it's attacked. Created in the aftermath of Fukushima's nuclear disaster in 2011, it brought the legendary franchise back to its origins following the monster's 10-year hiatus at Toho.
