The box office revenue of animated movies in Japan amounted to 60.2 billion Japanese yen in 2021. The box office revenue is marked a relatively high volatility, which can largely be explained by the release of hit titles during a particular year. The sudden increase in 2016 can be attributed to the success of the movie "Your Name" by director Makoto Shinkai, which elevated the box office revenue by about 25 billion yen during that year. Shinkai also directed "Weathering With You," which became a major success in 2019. In 2020, "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train" managed to draw in many people despite concerns over the spread of COVID-19. The movie, which was directed by Haruo Sotozaki, became Japan's most successful movie to date.
