Its predecessor, Nagasaki’s My Hero Academia: Two Heroes, only made $5.8 million during its entire domestic run back in the summer of 2018, so the animated film is definitely off to a great start.
The Invisible Man was the only new film from a major studio that hit theaters this past weekend, but it technically wasn’t the only wide release, as Kenji Nagasaki’s My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising was also played on more than 1,000 screens – and as you can see from the chart, it wound up doing pretty well.
It’s legs probably won’t be all that long, but it can be called a success.
The Manga movie was already released in Japan back in late December 2019, and there weren’t exactly a ton of expectations for its U.S. debut, but that just makes a number four ranking and its $5.1 million haul that much more impressive.
