Naruto movies box office: what the films earned
The Naruto films are small earners by modern anime standards, and public figures for many of them are thin or inconsistent between trackers.
Published: 2026-10-13. Updated: 2026-10-13.
Short answer: Box Office Mojo lists Boruto: Naruto the Movie (2015) at $38.4 million worldwide, including $20.5 million in Japan. Anime News Network reported it at 2.02 billion yen in Japan after 19 days and said the previous film, The Last: Naruto the Movie, took 2 billion yen in total. Road to Ninja (2012) is listed at $17.9 million worldwide. Other Naruto films have no reliable figure in the sources we checked.
Naruto films with a sourced gross
Three Naruto films have a gross we could open and confirm. Each row states the territory, currency and source, because the trackers and the trade press report different things.
Boruto: Naruto the Movie is the clear leader among them. Anime News Network described it as the top Naruto film after 19 days in Japan, at 2.02 billion yen, and Box Office Mojo's lifetime figures put it at $38.4 million worldwide.

Japan is nearly all of it
For both Boruto and Road to Ninja, Box Office Mojo shows Japan supplying most of the worldwide total: $20.5 million of $38.4 million for Boruto, and $17.3 million of $17.9 million for Road to Ninja. Boruto's US release added a smaller amount, with Box Office Mojo listing $0.9 million domestic.
The Anime News Network report notes that the 2.02 billion yen Boruto figure covers 19 days from its August 7, 2015 premiere, with 1.56 million tickets sold. It is a partial-run number and should not be read as the film's final Japan gross.
Trackers disagree on some films
The Numbers lists Road to Ninja at $5.3 million worldwide, against Box Office Mojo's $17.9 million. The Numbers shows the entry for Naruto Shippuden the Movie: The Will of Fire with zero in every gross column, which means no data, not no audience.
When two trackers differ this widely, the safer course is to state which tracker a number comes from and not to pick one silently.
What is missing from the public record
Quote each Naruto figure with its tracker, territory and currency, and avoid ranking across units.
Where public evidence stops: We found no reliable public gross for The Will of Fire or for the other Naruto Shippuden films, and the Boruto yen figure above is a mid-run snapshot. We also did not verify a final yen total for Road to Ninja from an opened source. Missing rows mean unverified, not zero.
