Godzilla is set to take over the big screen!
Alamo Drafthouse and Japan’s Toho International have officially announced a multi-year collaboration. “Godzilla” fans can expect screenings of Toho’s classic films throughout July. Classics such as “Destroy All Monsters,” “Godzilla VS. Hedorah,” and “Mothra,” with additional programming of kaiju classics will be screened. The multi-year collaboration will begin at the brand-new Alamo Drafthouse Valley Fair, one of the company’s two Silicon Valley expansions opening this summer, which will be located at Westfield Valley Fair in Santa Clara.
“From the moment “Godzilla” rumbled onto screens in 1954, Toho’s kaiju have inspired generations of movie lovers, including our team,” said Chaya Rosenthal, Chief Marketing Officer of Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. “Launching this partnership at our newest and biggest theater ever lets us celebrate that legacy with epic screenings, jaw-dropping lobby displays, and one-of-a-kind collectibles that only Alamo Drafthouse can deliver.”
The partnership’s launch event is planned for later this year with a nationwide birthday bash on Nov. 3. in celebration of Godzilla’s birthday, a full merch rollout, and additional surprises in theaters.
