SlamDunk has done the impossible and managed to beat AvatarTheWayOfWater at the box office...in Japan:
Avatar: Way of Water is the long-awaited sequel to the box-office blockbuster 2009 that introduced movie-goers to Pandora and the alien race known as the Na'vi. While the movie is already bringing in some serious receipts thanks to its recent theatrical release, a surprise contender has managed to dethrone Jake Sully and his family in the highly anticipated movie in The First Slam Dunk in Japan.
Avatar: Slam DunkWhat's even more surprising about this fact is that The First Slam Dunk actually hit theaters early this December, meaning that it has retained the top spot despite Way of Water's arrival in Japan. At present, The First Slam Dunk has brought in over $30 million USD in Japan alone, showing that the market for sports anime remains particularly strong in the East.
If you haven't had the opportunity to hit the court with Slam Dunk, Crunchyroll has the original anime adaptation on its streaming service and has the following official description for the basketball anime:
