grossed about ¥82.5 billion ($77.9 million)
The yen figure is off by a factor of 10. Credible sources put Shin Godzilla's box office at about ¥8.25 billion, not ¥82.5 billion.
Full reasoning
This appears to be a decimal-place error.
A Bandai/Tamashii page summarizing the film states: "The film grossed 8.25 billion yen at the box office." Box Office Mojo also reports the film's original worldwide gross as $77,947,607. Those two figures are consistent with each other.
By contrast, ¥82.5 billion would be roughly ten times larger than the cited dollar total and would imply a worldwide gross in the hundreds of millions of dollars, not $77.9 million. So the post's yen amount is incorrect; it should be about ¥8.25 billion.
