In all 11 Pokemon films have been released.
The report said the most recent film, Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin, has generated $32 million since its release on July 19.
Nintendo owns the wildly successful Pokemon franchise, which started as a Game Boy RPG in the 90s, and has since branched out to manga, a trading card game, an animated series and other merchandise.
The first Pokemon movie hit North America in 1999, generating $86 million in that region alone. Variety says that record has yet to be broken for a Japanese film.
