Godzilla from Godzilla x Kong Roaring in Front of Money
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The 10 highest-grossing kaiju movies of all time have accumulated more than $4 billion between them. Literally translated from Japanese, kaiju means "strange beast," but the term has been predominately applied to movies where giant monsters wreak havoc.
10 Pacific Rim: Uprising Box Office: $290.9 Million The Pacific Rim franchise, which began with the original 2013 movie helmed by Guillermo del Toro, is greatly indebted to the kaiju genre. In fact, the giant monsters at the center of the story are called, simply, Kaiju. The giant mechs called Jaegers that are used to fight the Kaiju are more commonly found in the Japanese tokusatsu genre , making this something of a mashup, though they have also been included in many kaiju movies as well.
8 Godzilla: King of the Monsters Box Office: $387.3 Million After the theatrical misfire of 1998's Godzilla, Hollywood wouldn't attempt to release a new movie featuring the monster for a full decade and a half.
6 Rampage Box Office: $428.1 million Of the titles on this list, Rampage is the one that perhaps seems the least like a proper kaiju movie. However, the video game adaptation starring Dwayne Johnson bears many hallmarks of the genre. This includes its central monsters, which are real-life animals that have been exposed to a pathogen which causes them to mutate into giant beasts whose titular rampage threatens the city of Chicago.
4 Godzilla Box Office: $529.1 Million Godzilla is the movie that started it all for the Monsterverse. It was the first time that America had attempted to bring the titular kaiju back to the big screen since the lukewarm box office take of the 1998 movie of the same name. In the meantime, six more Japanese installments in the franchise had been released, from 1999's Godzilla 2000: Millennium through 2004's Godzilla: Final Wars.
