this may seem weird and stupid but hear me out, japan may have been the place where godzilla was created (film production wise) but after hearing that the millenium's series most succesful movies weren't just becuase of godzilla it was also japans 3 most popular monsters, GMK with Mothra, Ghidorah and Baragon (apparently he is really popular in japan, more than angirus) and Final Wars was toho's biggest and most expensive film in the entire franchise it was also supposed to end the franchise with a wonderful bang, but unfortunatly it was a flop.

godzilla 2000 was also unpopular apprently, i think it was the lack of sound effects and it seemed less polished and rushed, however the only reason toho made 2000 becuase 98 was unpopular in 'Japan', when i research the films i noticed that toho aimed it's films 91-04 at japanese audiences which got me thinking, what if g14 was a flop but rated good in japan but really succesful in outside of japan, would toho make anouther movie for it's jpanese audience or would they give up the franchise if godzilla movies continue to be flops.

this may seem like a big stupid topic or doesn't really make sense but i'm sure you guys can understand what i mean right, you can also correct or back me up with evidence if you want.

Well, if a good portion of people in Japan saw the original (which is actually a lot higher than one would think due to their proportionately larger aged population), then they'll probably influence the rest to see it as well to help it be successful.

I don't know if Japan has a big enough maket box office wise to really be a huge factor. If you are worried about Toho making more movies, no one can really know if that's in the cards. However, I can say this, if Godzilla 2014 is succesful everywhere BUT Japan (U.S. and China mostly), we will be seing another Legendary (or W.B. I don't know who gets the rights after this film) movie.

According to most of the articles that I've read, it would seem that Godzilla is staying at WB. Though, I'm sure it's only for the new movie. I don't think Toho and Legendary agreed to start an American franchise, but just a movie. But if the movie is really good, then Toho might be willing to work with either company to make more. Also, Toho said that Final Wars wasn't going to be the last movie for the franchise, despite its name, just the last movie in the Milennium (or as they call it "X") series. Their intention was to wait for another ten years to reboot the franchise yet again.

^And they have. They've let another company do the heavy lifting for them while they sit idle and reap the profits.
