    About 2020s Japanese Movies

    The 2020s

    The 2020s opened with theatrical exhibition in crisis and streaming absorbing much of the mid-budget film. What's emerged is a split market: event spectacle in cinemas, and almost everything else finding its audience at home.

    Japanese cinema

    Japanese cinema gave the world Kurosawa's samurai epics, Ozu's domestic dramas, Godzilla and the kaiju film, and the J-horror wave that Hollywood spent the 2000s remaking. It also sustains the most developed animation industry on earth.
