Karasuno and Nekoma High Schools jumped back into their volleyball action from across the net in Japanese theatres on February 26. After a long-running spectacular box office winning streak, Haikyuu the Moview: Battle at the Garbage Dump has finally let loose and granted other premieres some space to occupy the top ranks on the weekend chart.
Updated on April 30, Kogyo Tsushinsha’s records reported that the penultimate Haikyuu movie outing slipped to the sixth spot in its eleventh week of box office sales after its previous sighting on the fourth rank. Mapping out the final chapters of the anime series, the Toho Animation film is now sitting at the 46th spot on the Top 100 box office grossers of all time on the Japan chart. As of April 29, it has reportedly amassed a cumulative revenue of 9.99 billion yen throughout its 11 weeks of theatrical screenings ahead of its international premieres.
