Six months after its release, Godzilla Minus One is finally available for streaming. Resetting the timeline of the Godzilla movies, Minus One features a post-World War II Japan still recovering from the war’s immediate aftermath as Godzilla strikes. Minus One earned immense praise from reviewers and earned the Best Visual Effects award at the Academy Awards. It also brought in $116 million on a budget of approximately $10 million.
After releasing on November 3, 2023 in Japan and December 1 in the United States, the movie has finally been offered to non-theatrical audiences. In a shocking announcement, Netflix took to Twitter to state that Godzilla Minus One is now available for streaming.
The reveal, which features a clip of Godzilla slowly swimming towards a Japanese ship before launching an attack, comes as a surprise. The streaming platform had not previously announced a date, leaving this as shocking but welcome news for anyone hoping to watch the latest Godzilla hit.
