"Slam Dunk" has been released for half a year and has exceeded 10 million viewers. The box office has exceeded "Weathering with You"

According to the latest statistics as of last weekend's June 3, the total number of viewers for the new Slam Dunk animated film "THE FIRST SLAM DUNK" reached 10.02 million, and the total box office revenue reached 14.43607 billion yen, successfully surpassing the previously highly acclaimed "Weathering with You".

This wave of nostalgia is really worth it! The total box office of "THE FIRST SLAM DUNK" has surpassed "Weathering with You" with 14.23 billion yen, ranking 15th in the total revenue list of Japanese films of all time, and it is likely to surpass "The Journey of Suzuya" with 14.79 billion yen, which is ranked 14th.

"Slam Dunk" was first serialized in 1990 and ended in 1996. The story tells that the basketball rookie Sakuragi Hanamichi decided to play basketball for some reason, which triggered a series of passionate, funny and inspirational basketball stories.

The original author of "THE FIRST SLAM DUNK", Takehiko Inoue, personally served as the chief director and screenwriter, and the five protagonists also replaced the voice actors of the TV animation series, but this did not affect the enthusiasm and expectations of fans.
