Hello everyone!

Some exciting Godzilla 2014 news hit today: China has finally confirmed they will be releasing Godzilla :-)

I know, it's not exactly the most adrenaline inducing news you've ever seen, but it's still a big deal. 

China only releases 34 foreign (not 34 American...34 foreign) films total, each year. Competition for these spots is fierce, as getting a Chinese release basically guarantees an extra $30 million, even if it's a bomb. If it's a hit, China alone has been known to add $100 mil plus to a film's box office receipts. 

If China holds true to form with Godzilla, it significantly increases Godzilla's chances of a sequel :-)

Previously, many people assumed Godzilla would be getting a Chinese release, but it hadn't been confirmed that Godzilla was going to be one of the 34 until today :-) Godzilla has a confirmed Chinese release date of June 13th.

Have a Nice Day!

Lets hope it can do well over there. The marketing will be key of course and the Asia Trailer was pretty good from what I saw. It makes you aware how much "art" has become "business" and "politics."

This right here spells nothing but success for Godzilla. China loves their giant creatures and Pacific Rim did about as well as the Transformers films over there if I recall. I'm sure Godzilla will have a little more weight over there being a recognized brand. Thanks for the good news Madison.
