Megaguirus - Film Appearances

Film Appearances

Since Megaguirus is part of the newest series of Godzilla films, the Millennium series, it had only been present for five years before the temporary retirement of Godzilla films following Godzilla: Final Wars. Toho stated that despite improved graphics over the years, the Godzilla series was not attracting more fans, thus profits would not be able to support further movies. This proved true as total revenue from Godzilla: Final Wars amounted to ¥1,260,000,000 (US$12,000,000), substantially less than the ¥2,000,000,000 (US$19,500,000) it took to make the movie. Megaguirus was the main antagonist in its debut movie Godzilla vs. Megaguirus; however, since it was ultimately defeated by Godzilla, Megaguirus has not been in a film since. It did however make a brief cameo appearance through stock footage at the opening sequence of Godzilla: Final Wars.
