"Canada is home to countless anime fans and a growing market for FUNimation," said Gen Fukunaga, CEO and founder of FUNimation. "We're pleased to bring Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' to so many cities and provinces across the country - a significant increase over our number of theaters there for last year's Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods."

FUNimation produced the special 15-minute, Dragon Ball Z themed pre-show to create a unique experience for fans that can only be found in theaters. The show includes exclusive cast interviews discussing Frieza's revival and his role in the Dragon Ball Z series. Fans will also be tested on their knowledge of the Dragon Ball Z franchise, with an interactive trivia show featuring the English cast and crew. Fans will be able to play along in real-time, using their mobile phone and the hashtag #DBZRF on Twitter. Winners will be picked from across Canada and the U.S. throughout the entire theatrical run.

"The response to Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' has been incredible across both Canada and the U.S.," said Mike DuBoise, COO of FUNimation. "With just three screening days available in Canada, I encourage fans to purchase tickets as early as possible to ensure they don't miss the opportunity to experience the movie in theaters; as well as join others in our interactive trivia contest as part of the special pre-show."

"Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'" is the 19(th) film in the Dragon Ball franchise. The story is the follow up to "Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods" and showcases the return of Frieza - one of the greatest villains in all of anime. The new film, which promises even more action than last year's, will screen from August 4 - 12, 2015 in select theaters across Canada and the U.S. Tickets are available for advance purchase at www.dragonballz.com.
