I do not like any marvels other than SpiderMan. I guess it's Sony. BTW, I never expected Endgame to perform so low here. If I am not wrong, James Cameron's Titanic once became the all time highest grossing film until Spirited Away dethroned.

I was expecting something like 10-15 billion yen for Endgame. Well, it never happened


Endgame was huge! Easily outdid expectations. It grossed 65% MORE than Infinity War, and became the highest grossing superhero movie in 12 years.

Superhero films (Marvel/DC) are pretty niche in Japan, so expecting big numbers for them (at least up to ¥10 billion) isn't feasible. Only 5 have ever broken half that or ¥5 billion (Spider-Man 1, 2 & 3, Endgame, and Joker), and only 2 have ever broke ¥7 billion (Spider-Man 1 & 3).

Only 2 Superhero films (Marvel/DC) are even in the Top 100 in Japan and they're near the bottom (Spider-Man 1 in 85th, Spider-Man 3 in 93rd).

If you add up the entire MCU (all 23 films prior to Black Widow and Shang-Chi), it barely cracks the Top 10 (at #10) Biggest Film Franchises in Japan, barely edging out the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise which only has 5 films.

Franchise Wise, it did have great numbers. But... Don't you agree Endgame deserved 10 billion yen + here. Endgame opened big in it's opening weekend while Detective Conan replaced....ending in 6.12 yen making it the sixth biggest import release in 2019 below Frozen II, Aladdin, Toy Story 4, The Lion King, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.

During release, Nara-san and me personally expected 20 billion yen or something that can easily overturn Country's biggest Import Film "Titanic". Well, it did not happen as we thought.

Sometime, I think Detective Conan delay by 2-3 weeks would have adjusted the finals to 8 billion yens +. Yet, I am happy to see Endgame overturning Avatar for some period globally until recent re-release in China.

I think increasing 65% over Infinity War and becoming the biggest superhero film since the original Spider-Man trilogy is plenty proof it was a huge success in the market. We're not going to see another superhero film compare to it in many, many years, if not decades. Before it, not a single superhero film had even earned ¥4 billion since Spider-Man 3 in 2007, yet Endgame went on to achieve blockbuster status (¥5 billion) and even break ¥6 billion.

Detective Conan had little/no impact on it since it's a franchise film with a mostly set audience. There was little/no overlap between it and Endgame, and since both were released ahead of Golden Week, both films had plenty of holiday support to boost them and give audiences enough time to catch them if interest was there.

¥10 billion will probably never happen for any Marvel/DC film, given that a third of that (¥3-4 billion) is considered very high for the genre, and half (¥5-6 billion) is generally the ceiling already that only 5 superhero films have even reached. They're just niche, and have limited audience appeal in the market, so expecting them to double or triple their audience somehow in one of the oldest markets that has long since been established isn't realistic.

And my point about the MCU (23 films at the time) is that it's a very weak franchise when 23 films just barely managed to crack the Top 10 Film Franchises in the market and is comparable to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise which only has 5 films.

Marvel/DC just isn't a popular genre in Japan, similar to how other genres out there aren't popular in other markets. And without Spider-Man (which has roots in Japan), it'd be significantly weaker.

(I'm actually updating the Biggest Franchises Chart today, so stay tuned!)

Post Re: Japan Box-Office: Biggest Film Franchises
All the films in a franchise with a film currently playing, or recently ended but hasn't been finalized yet, are just about wrapped up for now. In fact, both Shang-Chi and Crayon Shin-chan probably won't be updated next week, leaving the charts below without any film in release being tracked. But more are to come soon with the next Precure film this month, and Kamen Rider, Matrix, and Spider-Man in December (though Spider-Man isn't set in stone yet and might move to Spring 2022).

So here is the updated Top Grossing Film Franchises! The highlighted franchises, as mentioned above, have films that are either done playing but not finalized (Detective Conan), or are almost near the end of their runs (MCU - Shang Chi, Crayon Shin-chan) that likely won't be updated until their final totals are finalized as well.

And for those that may be wondering, Warner Bros.'s Rurouni Kenshin franchise just BARELY missed both charts following its two-part finale this year. The franchise (2012-2021, 5 films) ended with ¥19.34 billion ($191 million) and 14.63 million admissions, pending finalized figures from this year's finale.

I'm afraid you missed Evangelion :P 21.54 billion yen, not counting the two 1997 movies.

It's actually ¥25.88 billion. There are "only" 6 Evangelion films. The other 4 on the list are Gundam (3) and, for some reason, Promare? I still haven't got around to watching Promare, but the little bit of footage and images I've seen didn't scream "mech" to me. (But I could be, and likely am, wrong here.)

This list is just of top grossing films in the general "mech" genre.

I'll add Evangelion to the franchise list and update it a little later. Also, I'm going to work on James Bond, but will probably hold off on including it until the next update. It's going to likely require a lot of work getting numbers for many of the films, so I want to make sure I can get as much data as possible for the franchise before adding it. It took me quite some time before I felt comfortable adding Kamen Rider on this list in the past too.

Evangelion added! Evaganlion 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon a Time was an excellent way to conclude the franchise. It accounted for 44.8% and 36.7% of the franchise's revenue and admissions.

If there are any other franchises I may have forgot (a recent film getting them to the threshold I set above being the most likely case), let me know.

Note! I am going to add James Bond at some point. It's just going to take some time getting the numbers for many of its films. A very wild guess, just based on the numbers it's done since the 90s (and the few numbers I have of some of the older films), I'm thinking it'll land somewhere around ¥35/40 billion and 25/30 million admissions. But that's just a guess.

Yes, I'll edit the above post soon, but I forgot to ask where the ¥148.39 billion figure is coming from? I got the ¥143.47 billion, but where is the other ¥4.92 billion coming from?

Corpse, I am unsure about 148.39 billion yen that was provided by Official Website. Even, I myself can not confirm the numbers. Those Numbers are added on Japanese Wiki without Citation probably Original Research by a hard-core fan.
See this link for 148.39 billion https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%97%A5 ... E8%80%83_2

1st one is the Main Tweet while 2nd One is the correction. Check out the numbers :thumbsup:

Evangelion 3.0+1.01: 10.24B (highest in the EVA universe)

Total BO of Evangelion Universe: 33.37B (including Neon Genesis Franchise)


It's actually ¥25.88 billion. There are "only" 6 Evangelion films. The other 4 on the list are Gundam (3) and, for some reason, Promare? I still haven't got around to watching Promare, but the little bit of footage and images I've seen didn't scream "mech" to me. (But I could be, and likely am, wrong here.)

This list is just of top grossing films in the general "mech" genre.

I'll add Evangelion to the franchise list and update it a little later. Also, I'm going to work on James Bond, but will probably hold off on including it until the next update. It's going to likely require a lot of work getting numbers for many of the films, so I want to make sure I can get as much data as possible for the franchise before adding it. It took me quite some time before I felt comfortable adding Kamen Rider on this list in the past too.

For some reason, I do not know why wrote the total including Gundam films (might be rushing). Corpse, thank you for correcting my total :thumbsup:

Unfortunately, that wiki page is wrong on many accounts on their movie series/franchises (where no citations are listed).

Revenue: Pokemon, Jurassic Park, Crayon Shin-chan, Evangelion, Kamen Rider, One Piece, Umizaru are all 100% wrong because we have all the figures for each film in those franchise except for Kamen Rider. But, the KR films in modern history 2000-present come out higher than what they have alone, so it's wrong. So I don't know how they got all this wrong. A few of the others are close, but just slightly off (Star Wars, Detective Conan), but they may include compilation releases, re-releases (this is doubtful though since the SW OT is accounted for), spin-offs (I've included all the SW spin-offs, so unless there was an old one I wasn't aware of, this is unlikely too), collaborations, etc., but they don't have any sources.

Admissions: Dragon Ball is WAY too high (they have the admissions higher than the revenue total, which is also WAY too high, but that's just evidence it's wrong by itself). Harry Potter is WAY too low (we have all the figures for this series, and the 8 HP films total 76.98 million admissions, so who knows where they got 60.7 million...).

I'll update the Doraemon total to ¥143.47 billion since we have numbers for all that though. (Edited the Biggest Franchise list above!)

We got the same numbers while calculating the figures for Doraemon. So, figures are corrected as mentioned by you. BTW, I can not confirm the numbers other franchises as I have not calculated the figures (might look later). Because, verifying the numbers will take some time. Corpse, I agree your points and figures.

Very solid weekend! Especially for October.

>No Time to Die's second weekend is on par with Spectre's, but it really needed a better hold than this since it's a harder second weekend drop (34% vs 22%) than its predecessor--the leggiest and highest grossing film in the franchise since at least since the 60s/70s. So it's now tracking behind its two-week total by about ¥200/225 million, so I don't think it'll be able to catch up to Spectre (given its strong legs), but there is a slight chance it can get near Skyfall still. Expecting something around ¥2.5 billion (~$22/23 million) right now.

>Masquerade Night delivered a good hold, keeping its chances at reaching ¥4 billion ($35 million+) alive. But will need to deliver a few better holds in the next two weeks to get there. Either way, it's going to outgross My Hero Academia and likely F9: The Fast Saga to become the 7th Biggest Film of 2021, unless a big breakout occurs in the next month or so.

>Laws of the Universe: The Age of Elohim debuted well. I'm estimating it came in about 10% below the last film in 2019. However, this film was on noticeably fewer screens since it's a Nikkatsu distribution instead of Toho this time.

>Dakaichi: I’m Being Harassed by the Sexiest Man of the Year - Spain Arc is one of the first Boys-Love (BL) films to ever crack the Top 10, I believe. I'm sure there has been at least one or two in the past, maybe, but I can't recall any, so there's a possibility it's the first. I'll do some research to check, but if any anime fans here know, please share!

>Kaguya-sama: Love is War Final is out of the Top 10 and is nearing the end of its run, but it managed to exceed the ¥1 billion milestone! It was looking difficult early on, but the frequent strong holds in recent weeks got it there.

>And lastly, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings will finish below the ¥1 billion mark, having fallen out of the Top 25 now. Its debut was decent enough, but it had very poor legs (just barely breaking a 4 multiplier). So Disney will, unfortunately, go two-consecutive years without any ¥1 billion ($9/10 million) earners.


NOTE! Monday is a national holidays (Sports Day), so Weekend Actuals will be delayed until TUESDAY this week.

Error on my part! Sports Day was moved from October to July do coincide with the Olympics. So tomorrow is not a holiday this year.

It's normally the second Monday in October, and will go back there next year.
