The box office revenue of animation movies in Japan amounted to 61.7 billion Japanese yen in 2020, down from more than 69 billion yen in the previous year. The box office revenue shows a relatively high volatility, which can largely be explained by the release of hit titles during a particular year. The sudden increase in revenues in 2016 can be attributed to the success of the movie "Your Name" by director Makoto Shinkai, which by itself elevated box office revenues by about 25 billion Japanese yen that year. Makoto 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 many people to the theaters despite concerns over the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The movie, which was directed by Haruo Sotozaki, became Japan's most successful movie to date.
