What this is
Cumulative Japanese box office of the Pokémon films: ¥55.93bn for the 12 films of 1998–2009 and ¥68.03bn for the 15 films to 2012. This settles the first two films at ¥7.24bn (1998) and ¥6.20bn (1999).
How it’s built
- Each film's Japanese takings added up and compared with the running totals printed by the Japanese film site eiga.com in 2010 and 2013.
- With these two values the sums match the printed totals exactly; with the higher figures given by the entertainment site ciatr (¥7.60bn and ¥6.4bn) they do not.
What we assumed
- The printed running totals are right.They were published at the time by a film news site; adding up the films only shows the figures are consistent with them.
Sanity check
¥68.03bn plus ¥1.97bn for the 2013 film's first 25 days is ¥70.0bn, matching that year's 'over ¥70bn' headline.
