OMG, this is a lot of information!

Ohhhhhhh, that's why Gman is called Gman.

UPDATE 6/28/2022:
Actuals report Shin Ultraman finished the 7th weekend with 4.03 Billion Yen. ($31.1 Million) Despite four new releases this past weekend it only fell from #3 to #4. Box Office attendance came to 2.70 Million tying Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah. (World of KJ and Kogyotsushin) It's unlikely to hit Return of Godzilla's 3.20 million, but 3 million attendance is still not out of the question.

Next week it will top Spider-Man: No Way Home to become a top 5 film of 2022. Although it likely won't stay there, nothing indicates it will fall out of one of the top 10 highest grossing of 2022. It's still on track to finish with an exceptional 4.3-4.4 Billion Yen.

Weeks in the Top 10 (incomplete) Comparison:
Shin Godzilla - 11 weeks
Shin Ultraman - 7 Weeks (and counting)
Godzilla '14 - 6 Weeks
Attack on Titan - Part I - 5 Weeks
Attack on Titan - Part II - 5 Weeks
Godzilla: King of the Monsters - 5 Weeks
Godzilla vs. Kong - 5 Weeks
Kong: Skull Island - 4 Weeks

Charts have been updated.

Eoraptor is back as a primitive sauropodomorph

HURRAY, Buck and Doe returned!

Would this godzilla be one with the force?

Cool Godzilla, G-Man is a nickname for Godzilla said by many people.

If it was like  1954-2022 he could survive being in space as seen in the 1965 film, Invasion Of Astro Monster when G-Man was fighting Ghidorah.

Wow undulate, That's a very cool Kiryu model! I'll support you.....hmm this Godzilla fan guy is having a bad time, I hope he is all right. Anyway, I hope your design hit the shelfs!

What do you mean by G man? Is he a character?

UPDATE 6/26/2022:
Estimates from Eiga Ranking News report Shin Ultraman pushed passed the 4 Billion Yen mark in its 7th weekend! The benchmark puts the attendance slightly above my initial prediction with 2.69 million. It will hit or surpass Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah's attendance tomorrow. It still may barely miss the 3 million attendance, but that depends on the holds for the next 5 weeks.

Actuals will be released either tomorrow or Tuesday.

No unfortunately there are no official LEGO Godzilla sets.

I have not played such games for a long time and try to play better at online casinos. As for me it is the best option and here to argue with this is quite difficult. I therefore recommend that you definitely read the information about https://pokiesman.com/mobile-pokies casinos that can be run even from a cell phone and that do not require much, because it is convenient for ordinary users. I recommend that you should definitely take a look and read. 

So epok

I love those save mothers memes

Wait what's the game called?

Let's the shit go

As a huge fan of 80's movies, I would say a solid NO! to having these three great movies getting reboots. Reboots tend to rehash what made the originals so great in the first place and sometimes some movies are better in the decade that film them.

Nice fight, but Oh NO............Kronosaurus is now an invalid genus, But theres hope! Eiectus is introduced and its the replacer for Kronosaurus!

UPDATE 6/21/2022:
Actuals confirm a slight uptick for Shin Ultraman's 6th weekend. (World of KJ and Kogyotsushin) The film maintained its spot at #3 for the third weekend in a row. At 3.84 Billion Yen this week's exchange rate brings it to $29.7 Million. At 2.57 million attendance, Shin Ultraman is expected to finish around 4.3-4.4 Billion Yen--Perhaps just shy of 3 million admissions.

6th Weekend Comparison:

Shin Godzilla
6.02 Billion Yen/$58.4 Million/3.74M Attendance
Shin Ultraman
3.84 Billion Yen/$29.7 Million/2.57M Attendance
Godzilla 2014
2.99 Billion Yen/$29.3 Million/2.09M Attendance
Godzilla: King of the Monsters
2.70 Billion Yen/$25.6 Million/1.91M Attendance
Godzilla vs. Kong
1.81 Billion Yen/$16.5 Million/1.20M Attendance

Charts have been updated.

UPDATE 6/19/2022:
Early weekend 6 estimates from Eiga Ranking News put Shin Ultraman's total at 3.832 Billion Yen. ($28.4 Million) That attendance reaches an estimated 2.57 million, blowing well past both Son of Godzilla and Destroy All Monsters.

At this point I think Shin Ultraman only has one more prominent kaiju title it can feasibly top. It can pass the Heisei series savior, Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah's 2.70 million attendance. (And will.) But I think it will be shy of Return of Godzilla's 3.20 million. It might hit 3 million, but it will be quite the crawl.

Either way this is a massive win for Tsuburaya Productions and easily the most successful piece of Ultraman media.

Actuals tomorrow or Tuesday.

Welp... It wasn't Fallen Kingdom bad, but it was still pretty stupid. The original cast deserve better.

OMG, those are huge footprints!!!!!

@ignorantGuy

Thank you and good to hear from you. Raised By Wolves had that atmosphere that only Ridley is capable of but I think there were two challenges it faced.

1) It tried to pursue the story as a mystery but did not have a dominant pay off and the miniature resolutions in season 1 felt like monster trope's.

2) You need characters to care about and doing neutral robotics relies on an intellectual coherence that engages you. I may watch it all again to make sure I did not miss that.

As for FG i am always surprised and delighted to see people continue to read it. The movie looks thin in places now, but the crucial problem will always be that Ridley tried to move toward the creature being a foot note and the core fan base are much more interested in the creature than the issues he tried to frame it in. 

Whereas those that were intrigued by Prometheus had the opposite view. 

All I saw was he's tail, like he is rapidly evolving in to the 2nd form. Thanks for the reminder, It was Shin Godzilla 2nd form.

As for traditional animation, I would like Studio Pierrot or Sunrise to animate it 

SasquaDash

Well if it has to be computer animated, the I would choose Rooster Teeth. I liked how they handled the RWBY series.

Xenotaris

I personally wouldn't mind computer animation, but if they did one with more traditional style, I think Powerhouse Animation (the studio that made the Castlevania animated series and the upcoming Skull Island series) would be an interesting choice.

GMK is one of my favorite entries in the Series. It has always impressed me as being a Showa Era film made in the 2000's. Its characters, especially Yuri and Taizo Tachibana, are memorable and beloved. Hideyo Amamoto's performance as the mysterious Prof. Hirotoshi Isayama is riveting and unforgettable. Godzilla as the unstoppable vehicle of the anger of the souls who perished in WWII is completely convincing and overwhelming. The Narrative about the Guardian Beasts of Japan gives GMK a fable, storybook like feel. That an ancient record, a book about them, should factor so prominently in the story is most proper. Shusuke Kaneko brings the characters close to us through scenes at restaurants and at home with the Tachibanas. The decisive nighttime sequence in Yokohama is dreamlike. Then, there's the tips of the hat: to the Shobigin with the Maeda sisters in identical dresses as Mothra flys over; to the frenzied, beleaguered Insp. Osaka from the Gamera Trilogy by way of Yokijiro Hotaru's terrified, and would be suicidal, salaryman who stumbles into Ghidorah's lair; Godzilla peering over the hill at Hakone hot springs in an eerie shout-out to his reveal on Odo Island in the 1954 classic film. And then there's the tenacious, doggedly determined Baragon. What a joy to see him again through a memorable performance by Rie Ota. 

This movie is satisfying on so many levels.

The promise of a Kaneko Godzilla was fully realized.

SasquaDash

If they are going to make it animated, please hire a Japanese studio to make the animation and give it a storyline that doesn't shy away from mature content. In other words please don't make it like Camp Cretaceous. I want a Jurassic Park animated series with a cast of competent adult characters.

Yes the origin of Hammond and Lockwood's partnership, the hiring of Dr. Henry Wu, InGen Biosyn rivalry, the rise of the Big One, the birth of Rexy, the creation of Jurassic Park and Site B! 

Minor update:
I've finally compiled an Ultraman Film series chart based on gross. USD is not included right now as the massive flux in exchange rate from year to year would not be accurate. Attendance is not included either since these were fairly small releases and none reached 1 million. Those numbers are difficult to find at this point.

Clearly, cinema is not where the franchise thrives. Most of the movies are glorified episodes not worth pushing into a lot of theaters since it doesn't take much to make back the TV-based budgets. Additionally, Toho's distribution was critical to Shin Ultraman's success. Toho owns the majority of theaters in Japan and Tsuburaya's deal with them gave Shin Ultraman a wide release--Especially compared to prior films.

Additionally, the last seven years of Ultra films have basically been long episodes, most not worth a rewatch. (Though I did enjoy the R/B movie more than its series.) Tsuburaya hasn't had much incentive to push movies like this into a wide release. So the majority made less than 100 million yen.

To be clear, I'm not saying, "Ultraman movies are bad." On the contrary I plead for more to watch the excellent and criminally underrated The Next. Superior 8 is a beautiful film and the Zero Trilogy will take your virginity. But the last decade has been filled with cheaper TV products pushed into few theaters.

Shin Ultraman seems to have been the right revitalization at the right time:

Xenotaris

I personally would love to see an animated prequel series to Jurassic Park, one that expands on certain events in the timeline, like showing the construction of the park, Hammond's partnership with Lockwood, Nedry being hired by both InGen and BioSyn, the labs on Isla Sorna, the Big One taking over the raptor pack and what eventually led to the raptors having to held in the holding pens instead of their actual paddock. It would be pretty cool to see the return of older characters like Hammond and Muldoon, even if the actors who originally played them are sadly no longer alive.
