THE FIRST SLAM DUNK will return to theaters across Japan for a special revival screening from March 20 to April 1, 2027.
Titled THE FIRST SLAM DUNK 2027 in cinema, the screening will celebrate the popular basketball anime film. Further details, including the participating theaters, will be announced at a later date.
Based on Takehiko Inoue’s Slam Dunk manga, THE FIRST SLAM DUNK was released in Japan on December 3, 2022, with Inoue serving as director. The film has earned 16.67 billion yen (approximately $104 million) at the Japanese box office, including its revival screenings.
The original Slam Dunk TV anime, which aired from 1993 to 1996, also inspired four spin-off anime films. You can watch the entire series right now on Crunchyroll.
GKIDS describes the movie:
Shohoku’s “speedster” and point guard, Ryota Miyagi, always plays with brains and lightning speed, running circles around his opponents while feigning composure. Born and raised in Okinawa, Ryota had a brother who was three years older. Following in the footsteps of his older brother, who was a famous local player from a young age, Ryota also became addicted to basketball.
In his second year of high school, Ryota plays with the Shohoku High School basketball team along with Sakuragi, Rukawa, Akagi, and Mitsui as they take the stage at the Inter-High School National Championship. And now, they are on the brink of challenging the reigning champions, Sannoh Kogyo High School.
