This makes it the fifth-highest-grossing anime film of all time in the country, and bumps it past Dragon Ball Super: Broly as the highest-grossing Dragon Ball film ever in United States box office history.
While Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is unlikely to take over the #1 spot in the U.S. box office for anime films (which belongs to Pokémon: The First Movie – Mewtwo Strikes Back at $85 million), it can continue to climb.
Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero has already been a massive success in Japan, and now that success is translating overseas.
The fourth spot is currently held by Jujutsu Kaisen 0: The Movie, which earned $34.5 million during its run in 2022 and could see itself drop to five if Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero continues to perform well.
