With GODZILLA MINUS ONE (ゴジラ-1.0/ゴジラマイナスワン, Gojira Mainasu Wan) opening in Japan this Friday, November 3rd, concession stands at theaters managed (including those jointly managed) by T-Joy will be selling Godzilla-1.0 popcorn bag that comes with a framed mini-poster featuring artwork for one of the 30 Japanese live-action Godzilla movies.

The popcorn bag is designed with the GODZILLA MINUS ONE poster art on the front and the logo on the back. The mini-posters will be released in two waves. The first set will be available on the day of the movie's release, and will contain a total of 16 random frames of the fifteen Showa Godzilla films and GODZILLA MINUS ONE. The prizes will be distributed at random, so customers cannot choose their poster.

The second wave will be released on Friday, November 10, one week after the movie's release, and will include the seven Heisei Godzilla (VS Series) movies, the six Millennium Series movies, plus SHIN GODZILLA and GODZILLA MINUS ONE (same as first wave). If framed mini-posters from the first wave are still available when the second is released, customers will then be able to pick from the available stock.

Sales for the popcorn bag/framed mini-poster combos will end when all product is gone.
