Godzilla Minus Zero smashed expectations during its opening weekend, dominating the box office with an impressive $31.6 million American debut. But the film is making headlines for more than its box-office numbers. Screenings at premium IMAX theaters are proving so intensely loud that they are triggering real-time noise warnings on viewers’ smartwatches. Specifically, devices are issuing alerts after detecting sustained noise levels hitting a staggering 90 decibels. Stunned theatergoers are calling the feature the loudest movie experience they have ever witnessed. For perspective, 90 decibels puts Godzilla’s atomic roar at the exact volume of a passing subway train up close. Prolonged exposure at that volume can cause hearing strain, yet audiences rush out to experience the chaos firsthand. GODZILLA MINUS ZERO is the loudest movie I’ve ever heard in my entire life. This will be a reference title for testing theater setups. Unbelievable film, and the definition of FILMED FOR IMAX. https://t.co/miNvoegXKY — patrick.
