asked:
I just found out there are 7 sequels to this book but are only in Japanese. I would think that the movie would increase worldwide demand for the book series but perhaps there is some other blockage to further translations? I see that there will be a new english translation by Emily Balistrieri to be released on July 7th 2020. Maybe this is the start of further translations?

The publisher of the new translation (Penguin Random House) has not announced plans to print current or new translations of the sequels.
It seems pretty unlikely given the lack of popularity of sequels like this (see also Diana Wynne Jones's sequels to Howl's Moving Castle). People might read book 1 for the novelty, but often don't go beyond that.
