The total earnings are included even for films that debuted in 2021, such as Jujutsu Kaisen 0, which debuted on December 24, 2021. Jujutsu Kaisen 0 did not earn enough to get in the top ten when those lists were released last year.
The Japanese domestic list includes four anime, one live-action film based on a manga, and one tokusatsu film. The four anime films grossed a total of 52.36 billion yen (about US$395.0 million). This represents an increase of 88.1% over the earnings of the four anime films that made the top ten last year.
