Godzilla Raids Again
"Godzilla Raids Again" was distributed theatrically in Japan by Toho on April 24, 1955. The film generated 8.3 million tickets, less than what the first "Godzilla" film drew but still considered moderate business. The film drew little enthusiasm from audiences, the press, and Toho staff. Years later, Tanaka admitted that the crew had little time to prepare and hardly considers the film a success. The Japanese version was released to Japanese speaking theaters in the United States prior to the altered American version. The film was Toho's fourth highest-grossing film of the year domestically, and the 10th highest grossing Japanese release domestically.
