According to Funimation, the film raked in nearly $2 million at the North American box office during the first two days of its limited five-day run. This limited run began on September 25 in just over 500 theaters across North America.The film can still be seen in theaters with its English dub on September 27 and on September 29, and in Japanese with English subtitles on October 2. Because of its current success, many theaters are adding showtimes on September 28 and September 30 in select locations. Two Heroes has reportedly earned over $13 million during its Japanese run. “The box office success to date is extremely gratifying and we are already working with exhibitors to add additional theater locations and showtimes to keep up with the tremendous demand from audiences,” said Gen Fukunaga, CEO and president of Funimation.In our review of My Hero Academia: Two Heroes, we called the film “Good” saying, "While the introductory scene with All Might may have set too high of a standard for the rest of the film, it’s still an enjoyable side story with a great fight to cap it off."It was announced during SDCC 2018 that Two Heroes would be coming to North American theaters this September. Funimation is also bringing Dragon Ball Super: Broly to North American theaters on January 16, 2019.
