My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission grosses 1.6 Billion Yen

The new My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission movie has managed to go Plus Ultra, scoring over 1.6 billion yen (USD $14.6 Million/ MYR 61,820,780) at the box office in ten days.

This means that it has far surpassed the two previous theatrical releases in the franchise with My Hero Academia: Two Heroes doing 1.72 billion in its lifetime sales and My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising pulling in 1.79 billion. Within ten days, this new film has managed to almost catch up with both of them and will likely earn more.
