Japanische Filme erlebten im Jahr 2025 einen beispiellosen Boom, obwohl Hollywood und Südkorea Schwierigkeiten hatten – die Entwicklung der japanischen Filmindustrie

Though the article says that the moviegoers in Japan were already lower, so the recovery isn’t as significant.

Japan is about the only country that recovered to pre-COVID levels, while most others never really recovered. I’d chalk it up to Japan still having somewhat of a cinema culture, while most others went to streaming, maybe.

Also the megahits like Kimetsu and Kokuhou helped.
