It's official - Japanese movies take over foreign films in Japan

2006 Japanese box office official statistics were announced by Eiren (Motion Picture Producers Associations of Japan, this announcement is not available in English yet), and as expected, aggregate revenue from Japanese films surpassed foreign films, for the first time since 1985.

Total revenue was 202.5 bil. yen (102% of 2005), and hogas (Japanese movies) took 53.2% vs. foreign movies 46.8%.  In 2005, the figure was 41.3% vs. 58.7%.

Total number of attendance, number of films released, and number of screens all increased slightly.

As the total revenue grew just slightly and foreign film revenue decreased drastically (lost almost 20% of 2005), the picture is not perfect for the whole industry.  The top box office earners of 2006 in Japan were already reported HERE.
