Original Godzilla will stomp into theaters before the remake

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Excited for the GODZILLA remake that is headed our way this summer? Well then, you might want to bone up on your knowledge of the big guy, and what better way to do it than by viewing the original classic. The 1954 film will be receiving a limited theatrical release leading up to the remake’s unveiling, which is a pretty great way to get acquainted (or reacquainted) with the flick.

Here’s a list of the theaters showing the re-release:

April 18 – 24 NEW YORK, NY Film Forum
April 25 – May 1 SANTA FE, NM Jean Cocteau Cinema
May 2 – 5 PORTLAND, OR Hollywood Theatre
May 2 – 8 SEATTLE, WA SIFF Cinema Uptown
May 23 – 26 HOUSTON, TX The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
May 28 LEXINGTON, KY Kentucky Theatre
July 17 COLUMBUS, OH Wexner Center for the Arts

I’m confidant more cities will be added as we head toward spring, so keep your eyes peeled for further announcements.

Meanwhile, the GODZILLA remake hits theaters – way more theaters – on May 16th.
