Japan's most famous monster thundered into CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Tuesday as theater-owners got their first look at "Godzilla Minus Zero," which sees the creature rampage through New York.
Directed by Takashi Yamazaki, the offering from Japan's Toho studio is a sequel to 2023's "Godzilla Minus One", which became an international sensation with a box office haul of $116 million as it bagged an Oscar for visual effects.Â
