The
official website for the My Hero Academia: Two Heroes anime film announced on
Friday that the film will get 4D screenings throughout Japan beginning on
January 11.
The website
posted an illustration by the original manga's creator Kōhei Horikoshi. The image includes a thank-you to the production staff, and
shows Deku in a 4D theater seat.
The film opened in Japan on August 3, and earned 500,320,000
yen (about US$4.49 million) in its first three days to rank #4 in its opening
weekend. The movie has since earned more than 1.64 billion yen (about US$14.47
million) at the Japanese box office.
Funimation and TOHO hosted a world
premiere of the film with English subtitles at Anime Expo on July 5, and the
English dub version
of the film had a red carpet premiere at the Regal Cinema L.A. Live
in Los Angeles, California on September 13. Funimation then screened the
film in the United States and Canada in September and October. The film earned US$5,768,366
in the United States and Canada during its theatrical run, making it the #10
highest-grossing domestic anime film of all time.
Funimation describes the film:
The climactic finals are over, and U.A. is getting ready for the
summer training camp. Deku and All Might receive an invitation from a certain
person to go overseas to a giant artificial moving city called I-Island. This
island, a kind of “science Hollywood” that gathers the knowledge of scientists
from around the world, is holding an exhibition called I-Expo showcasing the
results of Quirk and hero item research. In the midst of all this, Deku meets a
Quirkless girl named Melissa and remembers his own Quirkless past. Out of the
blue, the impregnable security system the island boasts is hacked by villains,
and all the people on the island are taken as hostages! Now, a plan that could
shake hero society has been put into motion! The man who holds the key to it
all is the number one hero and Symbol of Peace, All Might.
Horikoshi is
credited with the original work, character designs, and as chief supervisor.
Returning staff members included director Kenji
Nagasaki at BONES, scriptwriter Yousuke Kuroda, character designer Yoshihiko Umakoshi, and composer Yuki Hayashi. TOHO distributed
the film in Japan. Masaki Suda performed the film's theme
song "Long Hope Philia." amazarashi's Hiromu
Akita wrote and composed the piece.
Horikoshi drew
the "All Might Rising" one-shot manga for the "Vol. Origin"
books that were given out to the first million theatergoers in Japan. Viz Media released the 10-page manga for free in English on its
website. The Blu-ray Disc and DVD release of the film will include an
anime adaptation of the bonus manga on February 13.
