As of 2024, there is only one Boruto movie, titled "Boruto: Naruto the Movie," released in August 2015. This film continues the Naruto saga, focusing on Naruto's son, Boruto, and the next generation of ninjas. The movie achieved significant success, becoming the highest-grossing film in the Naruto franchise at its release, with earnings of approximately ¥2.02 billion (US$16.8 million) in Japan after just three weekends.

It surpassed its predecessor, "The Last: Naruto the Movie." Critics and fans alike received the film positively, praising its animation quality, well-choreographed fight scenes, and Boruto's character development.
