Toho is planning to release Godzilla films “almost simultaneously” worldwide starting in the near future

Excerpt from a recent interview with Keiji Ota, "Chief Godzilla Officer" (CGO) at Toho Studios:

The biggest reason why Godzilla is expanding into more parts of the world than ever is that the screening and viewing environment of movies and dramas has changed, and the era has come when people all over the world enjoy the same Godzilla works at the same time.

“From now on, I think Godzilla movies will be released almost simultaneously around the world. Godzilla-1.0 was such a hit in North America, and I think expectations for the new release are extremely high. Godzilla-0.0 will be released in North America at a time that is almost the same as in Japan. So, until now, I have been thinking about how to let Japanese people know and like Godzilla, but from now on, I want people all over the world to like Godzilla. What can you do for that? With this idea in mind, I would like to localize and spread the initiatives I have cultivated in Japan to countries around the world."
