The critically acclaimed box-office phenomenon The First Slam Dunk will make its North American home entertainment debut on Blu-ray from GKIDS, with distribution by Shout! Studios, on June 25, 2024.

The First Slam Dunk opened domestically in Japan in December 2022, and went on to break box office records in a number of countries during its international release. Written and created by Takehiko Inoue, “Slam Dunk” is a beloved manga which was serialized from 1990-1996. The original manga is one of the best-selling manga series of all time, with over 185 million copies sold globally, and has been adapted to various media and video games, including the hit anime series that ran from 1993-1996.

The film went on to be awarded the 2023 Japan Academy Prize for Best Animation of the Year – marking the first nomination and win for Inoue. Winner of the Japan Academy Film Prize for Best Animation in 2023 and the highest grossing domestic film in Japan in 2023, The First Slam Dunk is a high-octane sports thriller that captures the emotional and suspenseful journey of a player in one of the world’s most popular sports.
