Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi’s Shin Godzilla film’s Special Edition Blu-ray Disc release and the standard edition Blu-ray Disc ranked #1 and #2 respectively on Oricon’s overall Blu-ray Disc chart for the March 20-26 week.
Shin Godzilla’s Blu-ray Disc Special Edition 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Package also ranked #4 on the overall Blu-ray Disc chart.
The last film to perform the feat before Shin Godzilla was the Interstellar Blu-ray Disc Steelbook and the Interstellar Blu-ray Disc and DVD Set in April 2015.
The film is the first Japanese film to place in the top two ranks since Oricon’s Blu-ray Disc rankings began.
