The Haikyu: Decisive Battle at the Garbage Dump movie has announced that it has earned ¥81.9 billion (~US$541 million) in box office revenue. A commemorative visual has been released following the announcement:
Haikyu!! Decisive Battle at the Garbage Dump, which serves as the first of two films for the Haikyu!! Final juncture of the series. The film was released on February 26, with Production I.G animating it. Susumu Mitsunaka directed it, with Takahiro Kishida doing the character designs.

Viz Media licensed it in English and describes the plot as:
