As of May 14, THE FIRST SLAM DUNK has brought in 14.10 billion yen (US$107.11 million) in Japan alone and US$268 million from around the world, sitting very comfortably at 5th place on the worldwide anime charts behind Suzume – and this is from Asia alone, Western countries won’t see the film until this summer!
And with this previous weekend, THE FIRST SLAM DUNK passed 14 billion yen at the Japanese box office, the 16th film to ever do so.
