Super Hero even broke the nearly 33-year-long dry spell with no anime since Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back opening to number one. Super Hero’s opening is a frontloaded affair, with more than half of the gross coming from Thursday previews and Friday, but it’s hardly something to be let down by given the weekend numbers. Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero came in first with a prediction-beating $20.1 million, more than doubling the opening of its predecessor Dragon Ball Super: Broly ($9.8 million) in 2018. The overall box office came in at $72.5 million, up $8.2 million from last weekend, and while this weekend sits among the lowest grossing in recent pre-pandemic years, it was still above expectations and may be the best weekend we see for the next eight weeks. After five weekends in a row of box-office decline and a gloomy season ahead, this weekend saw a bit of an upswing, led by the latest entry in the hugely popular anime franchise Dragon Ball.
