Talk:List of highest-grossing Japanese films

Submersion of Japan

I don't think the Submersion of Japan figure can be correct. I have seen in Variety from 1975 that it grossed $14 million which seems to align with the 4.5 billion Yen but if it only had 6.5 million admissions it seems odd that its rental is so high compared to say Mount Hakkoda with 6.8 million admission but a rental of 2.5 billion Yen.

The Toho Kingdom source for Submersion of Japan indicates that the 4.5 billion Yen is the gross rather than the rental and the distribution earnings are only 1.952 billion Yen, which seems more comparable. There seem to be Japanese language websites with box office information. Are there others that support the 1.952 billion Yen rental income? Sudiani (talk) 11:19, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

As a heads up, the editor who added this information—Maestro2016—was blocked indefinitely for WP:SOCKPUPPETRY a week ago and consequently won't be able to respond. Anyway, you make a good point about the incongruity. It's not clear to me that nippon-kino.net is a WP:Reliable source in the first place, so it may be necessary to double-check a bunch of other figures. It's also possible that different sources variously report gross figures and rental figures and/or that figures are incomplete. Errors and mix-ups can easily propagate in cases like this where sources are sparse. This may be a case when we simply have to accept not being able to report accurate information and desist from reporting inaccurate information. TompaDompa (talk) 11:46, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

On a related topic I have reversed your wholesale deletion of what I believe to be relevant content. If you think the effort that someone has presumably taken a very long time to create should be deleted you should at least ask for consensus before doing so, as deletion of such a large amount of content seems to me to be closer to Wikipedia:Vandalism than Wikipedia:Be bold. As I explained in my reversion comments, while you can see some Japanese films on the other page, it is helpful to have two lists, one solely of Japanese films and one of all films, especially given the predominance of American films (especially in earlier eras). It would not seem right to just list the highest-grossing films in Japan being all American films and not have some indication of how local product has done. While that is not an issue currently, it could be in future and has been in the past. Also, the other list only has 13 Japans films currently, so is useful to have a longer list, especially as this enables the list to not just be focused on more recent releases. This is also seen with other local lists eg List of highest-grossing films in the United Kingdom and List of highest-grossing films in France. On the topic of the other oage, I would support a merger of the Japanese pages as don't see why it needs two pages but the data and separate charts for local and all product are still relevant.

The two Dragon Ball movies should be updated

I noticed a small error in the gross of Dragon Ball Super Broly, which on its page is correctly reported at 13.5B yen or 124.6M dollars ([1]https://jnews.uk/super-hero-art-shares-new-look-at-broly/) instead of the 122.7M on this page, furthermore we need to update the total of Dragon Ball Super Hero which has reached 13.8B yen or 94.8M ([2]https://erzat.blog/one-piece-and-dragon-ball-super-films-boost-toei-animation-earnings-to-record-high-as-of-first-half-of-fy2023/) instead of the currently reported 85.1M 84.33.70.30 (talk) 12:11, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

Should international co-productions be included on this page?

There are many films that are international co-productions with Japan, including The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Detective Pikachu. Though they were not solely produced in Japan, would it make sense to include them here? Wasabi OS (talk) 20:47, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

As usual, the question to ask is "how do the sources do it?". In this case, I don't think they include co-productions. TompaDompa (talk) 21:03, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
