Screen Time
In an interview VFX Supervisor Atsuki Sato stated there was 18:08 screen time for Godzilla.
Kotaku: “How much of the film is CG? I know lots of the military hardware was CG, which surprised me.”
Sato: “I don’t know the exact percentage, but Godzilla appears for 18 minutes and 8 seconds in this version. That’s 15% of the entire movie.”
That would put it 8th most screen time, between "Return of Godzilla" 1984 at 18:54 in 7th and "Godzilla Vs Biollante" 1989 at 16:48 in 9th.
In percent of film in would be 11th tied with "Ebirah, Horror of the Deep" aka "Godzilla Vs the Sea Monster" 1966 and "Godzilla Vs Mothra" 1992.
A video was posted of all Shin Godzilla footage which totaled 16:14, however the video was taken down by Toho. From the video I was able to take the time each stage of Godzilla was on screen. But until I am able to do my own calculations and capture the time of each appearance and total time.
Shin Godzilla Screentime Precent
Stage 1 00:58 1%
Stage 2 01:54 2%
Stage 3 01:20 1%
Stage 4 12:02 10%
Total 16:14 14%
In percent of film it would be 13th tied with Son of Godzilla 1967, Godzilla Vs King Ghidorah 1991, Godzilla: Tokyo SOS 2003.
Budget
How much Shin Godzilla cost to make is still unknown. It has been reported to be 1.5 Billion Yen ($12.8 Million USD), but many believe that estimate to be a little low. An interview with Hideaki Anno stated the budget was less then one tenth a Hollywood movie. Another report put Shin Godzilla Break even 8 Billion Yen or $68.55 Million USD. But that is probably double
