Haikyu movie global release dates: All confirmed territories
TOHOThe highly anticipated Haikyu movie is rolling out across the world soon — so, here’s a rundown of all its confirmed release dates so far.
Haikyu!! is a popular sports anime and manga series created by Haruichi Furudate. The franchise released its highly anticipated movie, titled Haikyu!! Movie: The Battle of the Garbage Dump on February 16, 2024, but it was only available to Japanese fans. The series is extremely popular across the globe, so it’s no wonder fans have been dying to watch the first of the two final movies of the series.
Another reason the anime movie is incredibly popular is that it features the iconic battle between Nekoma and Karasuno which is known as the eponymous Battle of the Garbage Dump. This match is something fans of the anime have been waiting for ages. The movie is one of the biggest hits of 2024, earning more than 61 million USD within two months with the sole release in Japan.
It is currently the fourth-biggest first-day box office earnings in Japanese cinema, ranking behind Jujutsu Kaisen 0, One Piece Film: Red, and Demon Slayer: Mugen Train. Soon, it’ll make its way into cinemas in other territories.
