Japanese Box Office 2025: Highest-Grossing Japanese Movies

Q: How many Japanese-language movies released in 2025 made $1 billion?

None. 3 films crossed $100 million, led by Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie: Infinity Castle (2025) with $793.6M.

Q: How is the 2025 Japanese box office chart ranked and where do the numbers come from?

Films are ranked by lifetime worldwide gross in US dollars, not adjusted for inflation, and grouped by their release date in 2025. The figures are the reported box office grosses in our database. A gross that looks misattributed, such as one figure shared by two unrelated films or a blockbuster total on an obscure title, is left out rather than shown as a fact, and so are films whose stored language is most likely wrong.

Q: How often is the 2025 Japanese box office chart updated?

Grosses change while films are in theaters and whenever a new figure is reported; this chart reads the latest numbers in our database, so an older film can still move after a re-release.

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie: Infinity Castle (2025) is the highest-grossing Japanese-language movie released in 2025, with $793.6M worldwide, ahead of Detective Conan: One-Eyed Flashback (2025) at $166.1M and Kokuho (2025) at $134.6M. 23 Japanese-language films released in 2025 report a worldwide gross, $1.3B in all, 14% of it from the US & Canada. 3 films crossed $100 million; none reached $1 billion.
