Since beginning of the twenty-first century, expectation for the contents industry has raised. Above all, total domestic box-office revenues for 2012 were highest ever. In 2013, “Like Father, Like Son” (Director: Hirokazu Koreeda) won Jury Prize at the Cannes International film festival. That shows both domestic movie market and high evaluation of Japanese movies. However, many of recent Japa- nese movies have no individuality and novelty. One of the reasons is that most of works including high ranked works of annual box-office revenue distributed by Toho Co., are made by production commission system, in other words, film partners.

 This paper proposes for new production system of Japanese movies, being based on interviews with the movie directors and producers about production commission system. This paper analyzes within the framework of arts production and organization theory.

 This paper explains that the production commission system causes dispersion of rights for some companies and that makes troubles in producing works. The dispersion of rights also causes missing the opportunity to make profit in the international markets. The habitual practice of this production system promotes shortsighted investments. Therefore the experienced producers who have expertise are excluded from movie industry. That means this production system obstructs long-term growth of Japanese movie industry.

 For continuous development of movie industry, this paper proposes new production system that individual producers manage projects based on ideas from movie directors and plot writers, while di- viding investment and producing works. This production system depends on producers’ skill to make movies which are appreciated all over the world. It is important to retain management skill and know- ing global economic situation.

 It is essential for us to continue producing and creating works to hand down expertise and skills for distinguished creators. If we can continue growing revenue of the box-office and improving artistic quality of works, movie industry will become leading industry in Japan.
