[KineJapan] 2023 Box Office

[Gerow Aaron]

The MPPAJ (Eiren) announced their statistics for the Japanese film industry in 2023. Basically both attendance and total box office were up by a slight amount, and Japanese films still commanded about 67% of the market. The number of films released also rose. The top 5 Japanese films at the box office were, in order:

  The First Slam Dunk
  Detective Conan
  The Boy and the Heron 
  Kingdom
  Godzilla Minus One 

Again, animated films took the top three slots. For "art" films, Koreeda's Monster was number 21 and Kitano's Kubi was number 29. There were 34 Japanese films that made over one billion yen at the box office (and only 15 foreign films).
