Pokémon Film Festival
How did the movies that were a part of the
25th Anniversary Pokémon
Film Festival do
during their time in Japanese
theaters?
This page provides a detailed week-by-week look at how the
franchise's fan favorites movies did at the Japanese box office.
The re-release of Pocket Monsters The Movie "Latias and Latios, The Guardian Deities of the Water Capital" & "The Glittering Starlit Camp" managed to debut in 7th place in its opening weekend.

First place went to One Piece Film Red, the latest One Piece film that'll likely stay in the Number 1 spot for weeks to come. Second place went to Jurassic World Domination, which came out in Japan a few weeks after the U.S. while third place went to Minions: The Rise of Gru.
Other new films debuting this weekend included Tang, a movie about a man who finds an amnesiac robot starring a famous member of the Japanese boy band Arashi, and PAW Patrol: Jet to the Rescue, a theatrical release of the 2020 PAW Patrol TV movie.
According to this old page on the Japanese Pokepale! fansite the fifth movie debuted at Number 4 and earned 320 million yen in its first weekend back in 2002. For comparison's sake Pocket Monsters The Movie "Koko," the most recent Pocket Monsters film to get a nationwide release, earned 276 million yen during its initial weekend in theaters.
