List of highest-grossing Japanese films
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Films made in Japan produce revenue through various sources; the lists below only consider box office earnings at cinemas, not other sources of income such as merchandising or home video. The lists include both anime and live-action films produced by Japanese studios, but do not include English-language international co-productions between Japanese and Hollywood studios. For example, many Hollywood films based on Japanese source material were co‑produced with Japanese production companies.
Highest-grossing films worldwide
Due to a lack of available data, some films have incomplete grosses that do not reflect their entire theatrical runs in all markets, and other films are missing altogether. The rankings are consequently only approximate. There is especially a lack of available worldwide box office data for Japanese films released prior to 1997. See Highest-grossing films in Japan below for more complete data within the domestic Japanese market and Box office ticket sales below for more data on both domestic and overseas performance, especially for films released prior to 1997.
The highest-grossing Japanese film in terms of box office ticket sales is the 1976 film Manhunt, which was the first foreign film released in China following the Cultural Revolution,[1][2] and subsequently sold more than 400 million tickets there.[a] According to Nikkan Sports, the People's Daily, and Eiga.com, the film attained approximately 800 million viewers in China.[1][3][4] Its inflation-adjusted Chinese gross revenue is estimated to be at least CN¥10 billion ($1.48 billion) in 2017[5] or about $1.94 billion as of 2026.[2] However, the amount of nominal box office gross revenue (not adjusted for inflation) it generated in China at the time is not known to have been reported, so it is not included on this list.[2]
The list also does not include ancillary revenue from other sources such as home entertainment or merchandise sales, where a number of Japanese films earn significantly more revenue. The anime film My Neighbor Totoro (1988), for example, grossed about $1.4 billion from home video and licensed merchandise sales.[6]

Highest-grossing films by year
Up until 1999, the Japanese box office was most commonly reported in terms of distributor rentals,[77] which was equivalent to approximately half of the total gross receipts at the Japanese box office.[78] Since 2000, the Japanese box office has been reported in terms of total box office gross receipts. The worldwide gross figures for anime films were also not reported prior to 1997. As such, there are two tables. The first table shows the distributor rentals, gross receipts (if known) and box office admissions in Japan up until 1996, while the second table shows the worldwide gross revenue since 1997.

The following table lists known estimated box office ticket sales for various high-grossing Japanese films that have sold more than 10 million tickets worldwide.
Note that some of the data are incomplete due to a lack of available admissions data from a number of countries. Therefore, it is not an exhaustive list of all the highest-grossing Japanese films by ticket sales, so no rankings are given.
