Godzilla Officially Returns to Theaters in One Week

2026 has already been an elite year for sci-fi movies, but some of the most anticipated films of the year are still set to be released in the final two months. One of the biggest whales on the schedule is Dune: Part Three, which is opening in theaters on December 18. The film is going to be released on the same day as Avengers: Doomsday, which, while mostly lobbied as an MCU/superhero movie, could still be considered sci-fi. Anya Taylor-Joy led one of the highest-grossing sci-fi blockbusters of the year with The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which may be animated but still has all the elements of classic sci-fi. Ridley Scott even returned to the sci-fi genre with the release of The Dog Stars, but the film struggled at the box office.

However, fans waiting for another great sci-fi movie don’t have to wait until Dune: Part Three in six weeks. In fact, people will be heading to the theaters this week to see the long-awaited sequel to one of the best sci-fi films of the 2020s. We’re talking, of course, about Godzilla Minus Zero, which is finally scheduled to be released in regular and premium formats this Friday, November 6. Hailing from writer/director Takashi Yamazaki, the same filmmaker who directed the 2023 masterpiece that set the stage for the film, Godzilla Minus Zero is expected to follow in the footsteps of its predecessor and smash expectations at the box office. The first film somehow cost only $15 million to make, but it managed to gross over $110 million at the global box office after intense demand for more shows forced Toho to continuously add more screenings for the film in 2023.

Here’s How To Watch ‘Godzilla Minus One’ on Streaming Before the Sequel

Godzilla Minus One is streaming exclusively on Netflix, the same platform it has called home since 2024 when it first arrived on the platform. The streamer has also not announced any plans for the movie to leave streaming anytime soon, either, so it’s a safe bet that Godzilla Minus One will continue to stream on Netflix through the end of the year. It’s also possible, though not confirmed, that Godzilla Minus Zero will air on Netflix at the end of its theatrical and VOD runs.

Check out Godzilla Minus One on Netflix before Godzilla Minus Zero hits theaters this weekend and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of the film.
