Domestic features led the Japan box office in 2024 with no live-action titles from outside the country making the top 10.
In the year since December 2023, eight of the Japan’s top 10 highest-grossing films were produced domestically, with only two US features – Inside Out 2 and Despicable Me 4 – making the list.
Significantly, no live-action features from outside the country made the top 10, a sign that Hollywood tentpoles are having difficulty penetrating Japan’s cinematic market.
Recent years have seen titles such as Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (2023), Top Gun: Maverick (2022), Fast & Furious 9 (2021) and Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker (2020) perform strongly in Japan.

This weekend, Netflix is welcoming a thriller TV series, a buddy comedy movie, and an Italian comedy movie. Last weekend, the streaming giant added more licensed content to its catalog with the first seasons of the Japanese TV series Miu404 and Quartet, the thriller movie The Devil To Play, the documentary The Pez Outlaw, season 1 of the Korean TV series Awaken, the Turkish documentary Sweetie, season 28 of The Real World, and season 2 of the anime series Demon Slayer, but when it came to original content, it didn’t see much content, with the sitcom That ‘90s Show, the French historical drama TV series Women at War, and the French comedy TV series Represent.
This weekend, Netflix will see less licensed content, but there will still be a variety of titles to explore, with the arrival of the animated movie Minions: The Rise of Gru, the Indian documentary Black Sunshine Baby!
