Highest Grossing ANIME Movies of All Time
The following video is a list of the top 50 highest-grossing anime movies. More than ten of these films are also in the top 50 traditional animated films. 86.7% of the films in the top 30 were released after 2000. 2012 is the most represented year on the list, with six films. Doraemon is the most represented animated film franchise, with eight films on the list, while the Pokémon, Detective Conan, Dragon Ball and One Piece series feature prominently. Studio Ghibli is the most represented anime studio, with eleven films on the list. Each of the top nine films in the list earned more than any Japanese live-action film, also making them the highest-grossing Japanese films in history.
The films on this chart have all had a theatrical run (including re-releases) since 1997, and films that have not played since then do not appear on the chart due to ticket-price inflation, population size and ticket purchasing trends not being considered.
The list only includes box office revenue and does not include ancillary revenue from other sources such as home entertainment or merchandise sales, where a number of anime films earn significantly more revenue. My Neighbour Totoro (1988), for example, grossed about $1.4 billion from home video and licensed merchandise sales. Similarly, Castle in the Sky (1986) grossed a total of approximately $156 million in the combined box office, home video and soundtrack sales, and Akira (1988) earned $80 million in home video sales.
