‘One Piece Film Red’ Leads Japan Box Office to $1.6 Billion in 2022

Japan is celebrating a big win for 2022, and a bounce back, as theater  admissions reached 146.9 million across the year compared to 182 million in pre-pandemic 2019, leading to $1.6 billion at the box office, according to Comscore and other outlets covering movies and entertainment.

The Japanese box office saw some record breaking success, as Cosplay news website Japan Fever pointed out as box office receipts were $1.6bn (¥205bn), down 15.3% on the $1.9bn (¥242bn) taken in 2019. For comparison, last year’s US box office was down 34% on 2019.

‘One Piece Film Red’ led the way.
