[KineJapan] 2023 Box Office

[Tom Mes]

You can look up annual box office top 10s here: 
https://www.abelcane.com/category/movie-data/

Porco Rosso was the highest grossing film of 1992 in Japan. The last 
Miyazaki film that didn't top the box office was My Neighbour Totoro in 
1988, which didn't even make it into the top 10.

Best,
Tom
