It was revealed during the ‘Ani-rock Fes. 2024 My Hero Academia Plus Ultra Live’ event held at Yokohama Arena in Kanagawa on Feb 25, 2024, that Tk from Ling Tosite Sigure will perform the opening theme song for the seventh season of the anime.
In a statement released following the announcement, Tk expressed his thoughts on the theme song, stating, “I’ve always pondered what I, someone without any unique qualities or talents, could contribute to the series. The theme of this song was born when, in a moment, a soap bubble flew in front of me, reflecting incredibly vivid rainbow colors before leaving its shape imprinted on concrete as it disappeared. Is this battle, which continues even as things are taken away, and even pain cannot be obtained, for myself or for someone else? I hope that the radiance piercing through the tattered world will be engraved alongside this song.“

In a surprising revelation at Jump Festa 2024, Kohei Horikoshi, the creator of My Hero Academia, disclosed that he had initially intended to kill off a prominent character in the series.
The character in question is none other than Endeavor.
During the My Hero Academia panel at Jump Festa, Horikoshi revealed in a letter that he had initially planned to kill off Endeavor at the beginning of the Paranormal Liberation War arc. The decision was, however, scrapped off at the last minute due to a a change of heart Horikoshi had while working on the intense battle between Endeavor and the High-End.
Turns out, after witnessing the character development of Endeavor, Horikoshi decided to spare the hero’s life, opting for a different narrative trajectory.
Horikoshi had also revealed during Jump Festa ’24 that if My Hero Academia continued till Jump Festa 2025 next year, then a Dogeza festival will be held on the stage.

Manga authors making important announcements and commenting on their ongoing series are a common sight at Jump Festa stages. At Jump Fest 2022, Kohei Horikoshi, the author of My Hero Academia manga caused a stir when he said that the manga will end in a year if “everything goes according to plan.”
Fast forward a year, Mha showed no signs of ending and at Jump Festa 2023 the author called himself a “sweet summer child” for completely skewing his prediction. This time, he clarified that the manga certainly was close to its climax but did not give a fixed timeline for the end.
Come Jump Festa 2024, My Hero Academia manga is still going strong. But Horikoshi reiterated what he said at the previous event – the manga’s climax is near. However, he added that there were still many things he wanted to draw beyond the battle that was currently ongoing in the manga.

The anime industry only continues to grow larger and more mainstream with each passing year. It’s remarkable to see the growth, whether it’s through the wider prevalence and variety of dubbed content or the number of anime-based streaming services. Anime has alway been on the fringe of pop culture’s interests, but part of what makes it such an exciting form of art is that it doesn’t just entertain audiences in unpredictable ways, but it often excels with its inclusion of underrepresented groups. This has helped anime become such a universal product that doesn’t just speak to everyone, but specifically highlights those that may get overlooked elsewhere.

After selling off a half-dozen titles to Amazon and Netflix, “Love and Monsters” is one of the few Paramount Pictures titles to receive a 2020 theatrical release. It’s not much of a release — 387 theaters this weekend, for $255,000 — but its PVOD performance (at $19.99) may suggest why Paramount chose to hold on to it.
Scheduled pre-covid for theatrical release April 17, “Love and Monsters” (original title: “Monster Problems”) is no. 1 at both Apple TV and FandangoNow. Budgeted at $30 million, this adventure comedy led by”Maze Runner” and “Teen Wolf” star Dylan O’Brien, is not unlike “Zombieland” in its use of a young hero fighting off monsters in a dystopian society.
It’s the only new PVOD title this week, so it’s unsurprising to see its high placement at FandangoNow, which ranks its charts by revenue. Still, it beat out “Mulan,” which costs $29.99. More impressive: It leads at Apple TV, which ranks by number of transactions,...

Funimation, a leading provider of anime content, plans to expand its streaming service to Brazil and Mexico this fall, offering select subtitled and dubbed anime series in Spanish and Portuguese.
The company, an independent joint venture between Sony Pictures Entertainment and Japan’s Aniplex, already operates globally, with nine offices in six countries. The Funimation streaming service is currently available in the U.S., Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.
News of the expansion came during FunimationCon 2020, a free, two-day virtual fan festival celebrating anime.
“Anime is special in that it speaks equally to people from different cultures, regions and languages around the world. Audiences in Latin America are among the most passionate in the world and have been clamoring for more,” Funimation Global Group CEO Colin Decker said in a press release. “Expanding Funimation to Mexico and Brazil is the natural next step for us to serve those fans and extend our brands.

The last weekend featuring notable new releases for the foreseeable future yielded three new entries to the box-office weekend. But, even though there were new movies available, when people did venture out to multiplexes amidst societal health concerns, Disney/Pixar’s Onward retained the top spot to lead the weekend box office.
The film added $10.5 million over the weekend, and now boasts a two-week tally of $60.3 million. Debuting in second place, just one million shy of Onward, was the religious-themed love story I Still Believe, which made $9.5 million its opening weekend. Meanwhile, Vin Diesel and Bloodshot debuted just behind that with an opening of $9.3 million.
Both new films pushed The Invisible Man to the fourth spot in the countdown with a weekend total of $6.0 million. The film now has a three-week cumulative tally of $64.4 million. The third, and final, debut of the weekend was the horror film The Hunt, which...

‘Bloodshot.’ (Photo credit: Columbia Pictures)
Ticket sales at Australian cinemas plunged to a new low last weekend as coronavirus-wary audiences ignored almost all the new releases.
The top 20 titles generated a mere $6.79 million, 25 per cent down on the previous frame, which had been the worst weekend of the year, according to Numero.
This morning exhibitors and distributors were struggling to recall the last time the weekend grosses fell to such a nadir.
Typifying the market’s malaise, only Sony Pictures’ Bloodshot and Universal’s The Invisible Man in week three cracked $1 million.
In the Us, where some cinemas have closed, the estimated weekend take of $US55.3 million was the lowest since 1998.
The government’s ban on gatherings of more than 500 people has not impacted cinemas, at least for now.
Hoyts Cinemas CEO Damian Keogh tells If: “We have no immediate plans to close cinemas but will be guided by government policy.

Two new releases made noise this box-office weekend while another film rode a nationwide expansion to a place on the top ten as well. The latest Disney/Pixar production, Onward, led the weekend box office with an opening weekend debut of $40 million, easily besting the second-place film by nearly $25 million.
Last week’s number one film, The Invisible Man, dropped to second place this weekend with $15.2 million, giving the horror film a two-week total of $52.7 million. In third place was the weekend’s second new film, the Ben Affleck-led drama The Way Back. The film inspired enough people to see it that it managed to pick up $8.5 million during its opening weekend.
Meanwhile, Sonic the Hedgehog fell from second-place to fourth making $8.0 million. Still, the film has made $140.8 million through four weeks, so the little guy probably doesn’t feel like he’s spinning his wheels too badly at this point.

In a quiet weekend for limited release films at the indie box office, A24’s “First Cow” easily took the top per screen average from its four screen release in New York and Los Angeles. Directed by Kelly Reinhardt, the western took in just over $96,000 for an average of $24,015.
Set in the early 19th century in the Pacific Northwest, “First Cow” stars John Magaro and Orion Lee as a cook and a Chinese immigrant who form an unexpected friendship and an even more unexpected business when they start cooking delicious food using milk stolen from a wealthy landowner’s prized cow. Reinhardt directed from a screenplay she co-wrote with Jonathan Raymond, and the film has a score of 92% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Beyond “First Cow,” holdovers have mostly driven the indie box office this weekend. Focus Features’ “Emma.” expanded wide to 1,565 screens, taking in $5 million to bring it to a total of $6.9 million.

Kelly Reichardt’s ‘First Cow’ Opens Strong as Specialty Box Office Fans Leave Homes and Show Support
This weekend, the specialized world showed no signs of public resistance to moviegoing. That so much of the audience is older,and perhaps more wary, is encouraging.
The successes include the opening of the acclaimed “First Cow” (A24), a couple of niche limited openers (“The Booksellers” from Greenwich with the best per-theater number), the successful expansion of “Emma” (Focus), and decent continued results for two offbeat wider and younger-audience titles: “Impractical Jokers” (truTV) and “My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising” (Funimation).
However, the complete failure of two higher-end titles — “Wendy” (Searchlight) and “Greed” (Sony Pictures Classics) — as they expanded in their second weekends showed audiences are picky and the success rate remains challenging.
Specialized distributors are as concerned about possible theater shutdowns as anyone in the business. At this point, no changes have been made, but sources say this has gone from a day-to-day review to an hour by hour.

My Hero Academia has only been around for a few years, but it’s already gained mass acclaim and become one of the most popular anime series in years. The series consistently pushes its characters to challenging new places, but it can be difficult for supplemental feature films to capture the same level of importance and feel like they’re not stuck inside of some non-canonical bubble.
My Hero Academia’s first film, Two Heroes, was considered a success by fans, but the series is now in a more complex place where its endgame is increasingly on its mind. Thankfully, My Hero Academia: Heroes: Rising isn’t just an improvement over Two Heroes, but it actually feels like an important chapter from these characters’ lives that won’t just be conveniently forgotten when everything’s said and done.

A new film not only led the weekend box office, but it also displaced the former number one film by $13.0 million. The horror film, The Invisible Man debuted over the weekend, earning $29 million. The film seems to be a hit with both critics and audiences and could possibly enjoy a healthy stay in the top ten. But, only time will tell.
With a strong opening weekend, The Invisible Man easily bested second-place finisher, and former first-place film, Sonic the Hedgehog, which only brought in $16 million. Despite finishing in second-place, the film has managed to earn $128.3 million in its first three weeks of release, so it’s doubtful anyone is too upset about the fall from the top spot.
Similarly dropping a spot over the weekend was the Harrison Ford vehicle The Call of the Wild, which added $24.8 million to give the film a two-week total of $45.9 million and a third-place finish on our countdown.

The weekend box office brought both good and bad news. Universal’s “The Invisible Man” exceeded expectations with a $29 million opening, but the overall box-office total fell under $100 million, a rarity between Super Bowl Sunday and Labor Day.
And strangely this weekend, both “My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising” (Funimation) and “Impractical Jokers: The Movie” (truTV) showed up in the Top Ten.
Meanwhile exhibitors are facing rising concerns about the coronavirus pandemic and its possible impact on public activities like moviegoing ahead. The case for some impact comes from recent declines after a strong start to 2020 that left the totals up 6% after two months. That’s down sharply from initial weeks, and comes with the bonus of the leap year Saturday that accounts for 40% of the higher number. So the bloom is off the rose.
However, results for the first two months are usually not a good guide for a full year’s prospects.

“Emma” (Focus) had a strong initial second weekend expansion, but the top news comes from two unexpected niche releases. The top 10 successes of “My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising” (Funimation) and the second weekend of “Impractical Jokers: The Movie” (truTV) suggest new paths to theatrical success.
An exclusive date for “Saint Frances” (Oscilloscope) stood out in a weekend that saw poor initial play for “Wendy” (Searchlight) and “Greed” (Sony Pictures Classics) — films with top directors and mediocre or worse reviews.
Opening
My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising (Funimation) – Metacritic: 71
$5,109,000 in 1,260 theaters; PTA (per theater average): $4,054; Cumulative: $8,482,000
Where did this come from? This second film from the popular Manga action comic opened on Wednesday from Funimation, a Sony Pictures-related company, with the top gross opening day. But rather than just play like an event as similar films, it continued its run to end up as the surprise #4 film overall this weekend.

Universal and Blumhouse's The Invisible Man delivered on expectations, becoming the first true stand out among the year's several horror films to have already hit theaters. At the same time FUNimation's My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising is already the studio's second largest release of all-time after just three days in theaters.
With an estimated $29 million, Universal and Blumhouse's The Invisible Man finished atop the weekend box office. Critics and audiences alike took to the film, as it holds a 89% critics score on RottenTomatoes to go along with 90% audience score. Opening day audiences also gave the film a "B+" CinemaScore, which is a solid result for a genre film. Looking ahead, fellow Blumhouse releases with similar debuts include Happy Death Day, Insidious: The Last Key and The Purge: Anarchy and they finished with domestic runs from $55-71 million, suggesting great things for this $7 million production.

Universal and Blumhouse’s “The Invisible Man” materialized at the top of box office charts after debuting to $29 million in North America over the weekend.
“The Invisible Man” is Universal’s latest attempt to remake its classic monster properties, an effort that failed spectacularly with 2017’s “The Mummy” starring Tom Cruise. After that movie was commercially panned and became a box-office bust, the studio scrapped its plans to create an interconnected “Dark Universe.” Instead, Universal took the concept in a different direction and focused on creating standalone stories unique to each otherworldly creature. That approach seems to have paid off since “The Invisible Man” has been praised by critics and audiences. The Elisabeth Moss-led thriller only cost $7 million to make, not including marketing fees, meaning it’s already a financial hit for the studio.

After several months of weak numbers for horror movies at the box office, Universal/Blumhouse’s “The Invisible Man” has broken the slump with a $29 million opening weekend at the box office, the largest for the genre since “It: Chapter Two” six months ago.
Released on 3,610 screens, “The Invisible Man” had been projected by trackers for a $23-25 million start, but estimates have inched up as the weekend has gone on thanks to strong word of mouth for this terrifying #MeToo spin on the H.G. Wells novel. The film has a 91% Rotten Tomatoes critics score, while audiences gave it B+ on CinemaScore and 4/5 on Postrak. Age demographics have been fairly even with 18-24 accounting for 29% and 25-34 accounting for 32%.

My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising is the second film to be based on the My Hero Academia manga. It follows Deku and the 1-a class as they work to protect the residents of Nabu Island. It seems like a completely routine job, as the island is practically free of crime. However, everything changes when a group of villains arrive on the island, determined to locate two particular children for the quirks they might possess.

Elisabeth Moss’ “The Invisible Man” scared up a solid $26 million opening weekend at 3,610 North American locations, estimates showed Saturday.
Paramount’s “Sonic the Hedgehog,” which had led for the past two weekends, will finish second with about $15 million at 4,177 sites for a 17-day total of roughly $127 million. The sophomore frame of Disney-20th Century’s “Call of the Wild” is heading for third with $13 million at 3,865 venues and is nearing $46 million for its first 10 days.
Universal-Blumhouse’s “The Invisible Man” dominated Friday’s moviegoing with about $9.8 million and generated a B+ Cinemascore from opening-day patrons. The thriller is coming in above studio forecasts, which had been north of $20 million this weekend.

Universal/Blumhouse’s “The Invisible Man” is meeting box office expectations and headed for a $26 million opening weekend.
Director Leigh Whannell’s modernized spin on the H.G. Wells novel is breaking a small slump for horror films at the box office by grossing $9.8 million at the Friday box office from 3,610 screens.
While it’s not one of the biggest opening weekends for a Blumhouse film, “The Invisible Man” is set to bring a much bigger return on investment for Universal than their 2017 attempt to revive one of their classic horror IP. “The Mummy,” which was supposed to be the start of the doomed Dark Universe series, had a larger opening weekend with $31 million, but also had a far larger budget at $125 million and took 80% of its $409 million gross from outside the U.S.

Elisabeth Moss’s “The Invisible Man” is dominating North American moviegoing and should scare up about $23 million at 3,610 locations, early estimates showed Friday.
The third weekend of Paramount’s family film “Sonic the Hedgehog” and the sophomore frame of Disney-20th Century’s “Call of the Wild” are in a race for second in the $13 million to $15 million range. “Sonic,” playing at 4,177 sites, will wind up the weekend with more than $125 million in its first 17 days.
The updated forecast comes after Universal-Blumhouse’s “The Invisible Man” took in a solid $1.7 million Thursday night previews. “The Invisible Man” had been expected to earn north of $20 million this weekend with some independent box office tracking services estimate ticket sales could wind up closer to $30 million since word of mouth has been strong.
“The Invisible Man,” which carries a modest $7 million budget, is written and direct by Leigh Whannell, the co-creator of the “Saw” franchise.

Though much smaller than the $7M first day Wednesday opening of Funimation’s Dragon Ball Super: Broly prior to Mlk weekend last year, My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising had enough bucks to beat the first Wednesday of Disney/20th Century Studios’ Call of the Wild which made $1.5M in second place (cume at $31.2M) and Paramount’s second Wednesday of Sonic the Hedgehog which grossed $1.1M in third place (running cume at $111M).

It’s hard to imagine that a general American audience might take to new Japanese anime “My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising” beyond the already robust fanbase of “My Hero Academia,” the popular shonen-style boy’s adventure manga and anime about teenage superhero Izuku Midoriya as he leads his super-powered high school classmates in becoming better team players and aspiring heroes.
Which isn’t to say that uninitiated moviegoers will have trouble understanding the plot of “Heroes Rising,” which follows Izuku and U.A. High School’s Class 1-a as they try to stop multi/over-powered villain Nine (Johnny Yong Bosch) from killing the residents of Nabu Island. “Heroes Rising” is, like the ongoing anime that it supplements, full of expository dialogue and flashbacks that help new viewers understand what they’re looking at, and why it matters.
