The film is now the #20 highest-grossing anime film in Japan, surpassing the previous #20 Tales from Earthsea (which Hayao Miyazaki's son Goro Miyazaki directed). It is now also the #84 highest-grossing film in Japan, after surpassing The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Tales from Earthsea, Yo-kai Watch: The Movie, and the live-action Hana Yori Dango Final film. The Boy and the Heron sold 1.003 million tickets and earned about US$13.2 million in its first three days in Japan.
