Japan film studios Toho and Toei charge back into US market

Japanese film studios Toho and Toei are adjusting their strategies for entering the U.S. market by moving away from releasing films that have already been successful in Japan. Instead, they plan to launch new content simultaneously in both Japan and the United States. This change comes after the global success of Toho's 'Godzilla Minus One' in 2023, which prompted the studio to adopt this new approach. The strategy also incorporates the growing influence of streaming platforms to reach audiences more effectively. This marks a significant shift in how these studios aim to expand their presence in international markets.
