FUNimation Entertainment has announced that Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods will be coming to over 350 screens across the US and Canada for a limited release on August 5, 6, 7, and 9.

An original story from Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama, Battle of Gods finds Beerus, the ancient and powerful God of Destruction, searching for Goku after hearing tales of how the hero defeated Frieza. As the new villain's threat to humanity grows, Goku must ascend to the level of a Super Saiyan God to stop Beerus from destroying Earth -- and the entire universe.

"We're very excited to be bringing Battle of Gods to movie theaters across the country this summer," said Gen Fukunaga, CEO and President of FUNimation Entertainment. "Dragon Ball Z has always been a huge part of everything we do at FUNimation and, speaking as a fan myself, I can't wait to watch it on the big screen."FUNimation promises "plenty more to announce" in the near future.
