Gkids Acquires North American Distribution Rights to ‘Shin Godzilla’ (EXCLUSIVE)


Gkids has acquired the North American distribution rights to 'Shin Godzilla' and will release the film in theaters on Aug. 14.

Gkids’ President David Jesteadt said, “With an incredibly timely story of people struggling to work together to stop imminent destruction, backed by some of the most explosive action scenes the franchise has ever seen, ‘Shin Godzilla’ is a modern masterpiece. “Shin Godzilla” joins Gkids’ expanding lineup of classic Japanese live-action features, following the company’s first-ever nationwide release of Hideaki Anno’s “Love and Pop.” Upon its release, it became a social phenomenon in Japan, playing a pivotal role in reviving the Godzilla franchise after a 12-year hiatus, and we’re thrilled to bring this landmark film back to the big screen in North America.
