Updated Charts: Screen Time, First Appearance, Attendance

The following is an updated version of Godzilla's screen time, first appearance, and attendance for all Toho Godzilla films, plus TriStar and Legendary Pictures. Fitting 31 films on a graph isn't easy, I tried to make them as large and readable as possible, please click on the image to get the full size, sorry mobile users. Many charts are presented twice, once in release order, and again from most to least, I also included a list. Since Blogger is sometime hard to keep formatting lined up I tried to do the best I could. I also color coded the eras to help better visual the data.

Screen Time  

Screen time is presented in two ways; first in minutes of screen time, second as a percentage of the total runtime of the films.

Comparing Screen Time to Rampages and Clashes

Sometimes Godzilla is on screen but he really isn't doing much, other times other kaiju and present and causing destruction, or battle Godzilla. This chart is a bit subjective to what is considered rampage or a clash. If city destruction is going on, or battling the military, it is consider a rampage. Clashes are of course when kaiju battle, the clock starts when they initiate an attack. The chart is presented twice again, once in minutes, the second in percentage.

First Appearance 

Basically how long into the film before Godzilla appears. However there is often a tease appearance where Godzilla is seen only briefly or in a flashback. The charts are in release order with a list from earliest to latest.

Attendance 

The Japanese like to track tickets sold, not over all box office take in money. While not completely fair to compare films over a 60 year period, you can see trends in the different eras.
