Every year November 3rd is celebrated as ‘Godzilla Day’. The very first film in the series was released in Japan on November 3rd, 1954. Since then, the film proved to be a commercially viable franchise for the Japanese film company Toho. The Americanized versions of the films from the franchise did good numbers.
The franchise has raked $563,286,602 domestically. However, the last film released by Toho in Japan was ‘Shin Godzilla’ before Legendary took over the franchise and started the MonsterVerse creating series. Now, after five years, Toho has announced a new project.

The film company has been making films since the 1930s, but its longest-running franchise has been ‘Godzilla’, which gave birth to various films and alternate franchises like ‘King Kong’. It formed ‘Toho International’ for the distribution of films worldwide with re-edited versions of the Japanese language films for the audience in the West.
