Haikyu movie beats huge Disney box office record TOHOThe Haikyu!! movie continues to dominate at the box office, scoring yet more records in Japan \u2013 the latest being one belonging to none other than Disney itself. We expected Haikyu!!\u2018s jump to theatres to be big. After all, the anime show left us on a major cliffhanger that the upcoming films would address. But I don\u2019t think anyone knew the sports anime was going to hit the box office as hard as it has. On opening weekend, Haikyu!! the Movie: Decisive Battle at the Garbage Dump landed right below Jujutsu Kaisen, One Piece, and Demon Slayer. Strong company, and the anime movie has continued to impress by leapfrogging a global phenomenon in Japan. Haikyu!! movie beats Frozen at Japan box office Haikyu: The Dumpster Battle has now crossed 5.1 billion yen in Japan. In a 17 day period, that\u2019s more than the 5 billion yen made by Frozen, Disney\u2019s 2013 powerhouse that\u2019s currently the fourth highest-grossing film ever in Japan. Haikyu!! still has some way to go to beat Frozen outright \u2013 Anna and Elsa\u2019s fairytale landed just over $250 million total, where Haikyu!! is at $33.94 million. But for a picture like this, those are impressive numbers. Though popular, Haikyu!! didn\u2019t standout as a major franchise before now, and the movie seems, like it\u2019d appeal more to established fans, since it\u2019s the conclusion of four seasons of storytelling. For context, the film covers a major volleyball match between two rival schools, one that\u2019s been teased since the first episode of the show. While it\u2019s great this was saved for a movie, that could be a hard sell for casual audiences. So far, it seems uninhibited by this success, and I\u2019ll be curios to see if such legs hold in global markets. So far, there\u2019s been no indication off an international release date, but we\u2019ll keep you informed. Keep an eye on our guides to Tower of God Season 2 and My Hero Academia Season 7 for more of this year\u2019s most anticipated releases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
