TOKYO -- Japanese film studio and theater operator Toho aims to strengthen its overseas business following the success of its latest -- and Oscar-winning -- Godzilla movie and a stage version of "Spirited Away" in London.

The entertainment conglomerate announced a midterm plan earlier this week, stating it will increase overseas net operating revenue to 30% of its total revenue by 2032, up from 10% currently.
