Different media in Japan reported that “Haikyuu!!: Gomisuteba no Kessen (Haikyu!!: Battle of the Garbage Dump)”, the new film in the “Haikyuu!!“, debuted to overwhelming success on its first day in theaters in Japan. According to reports, the film had an initial gross of around 890 million yen (more than 5.92 million US dollars).
This single figure places this new film in fourth position in the ranking of first-day earnings in the entire history of cinema in Japan.only behind “Kimetsu no Yaiba Movie: Mugen Ressha-hen” (1,269 million yen); “ONE PIECE FILM RED” (1,232 million yen); and “Jujutsu Kaisen 0” (1072 million yen). While above other hits like “Youkai Watch Movie 1: Tanjou no Himitsu da Nyan!” (874 million yen); “Detective Conan: Black Iron Submarine” (859 million yen) and “Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time” (803 million yen).
It should be remembered that this film is the first of the two-part film project, “Haikyuu! Final”, which will apparently adapt the remaining original manga content, which involves around 110 chapters. Evidently, fans assume that two films will be insufficient to adequately cover such a number of chapters of the manga, so the content could be extremely condensed if the production team really intends to end the adaptation with these two films.
Haruichi Furudate The publication of the manga in the magazine began Weekly Shonen Jump from the publisher Shueisha in February 2012 and finished it in July 2020, with the publisher compiling the work in a total of forty-five compilation volumes. Four seasons of the animated adaptation of the project have been produced to date, accumulating a total of eighty-five episodes.
