What this is
Japanese box office for each of the first 15 Pokémon films, 1998–2012: from ¥7.24bn for the first film in 1998 to ¥3.61bn in 2012, ¥68.03bn in all.
How it’s built
- Read from a 2013 eiga.com article (a Japanese film news site) marking the series passing ¥70bn cumulative, which prints each film’s gross and admissions.
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
The 15 printed figures add to ¥68.03bn, exactly the article’s own printed total, which confirms the first two films at ¥7.24bn and ¥6.2bn.
The values
- 1998: 72.4
- 1999: 62
- 2000: 48.5
- 2001: 39
- 2002: 26.7
- 2003: 45
Some detail is too fine to show here; it is kept in the trainer’s notes.
Where it comes from
The line in the source
「ミュウツーの逆襲」（98）654万人／72.4億円 ... 「幻のポケモン ルギア爆誕」（99）560万人／62億円 ... 過去15作品の総動員数は約6421万人、総興収は680.3億円 In English
eiga.com prints the per-film figures directly (with admissions), so 72.4 and 62.0 rest on a printed list, not only on the cumulative-sum test in F:Q48.D-6. Same document as F:Q48.Ab-65/Ab-67; confirms unit is 億円 (X-5).
