Box Office
As of June 20, 2022, Superzeroes 2: Dimensional Downfall has grossed $99.7 million in the United States and Canada and $61.9 million in other territories for a worldwide gross of $161.6 million worldwide. Deadline Hollywood estimated the film would need to gross $400–475 million worldwide in order to break-even.

In the United States and Canada, the film was initially projected to gross $55–60 million from 4,190 theaters in its opening weekend. However, after making $14.5 million on its first day (including $4.3 million from Thursday night previews), a 53% decline from the first film's opening day of $30.9 million estimates were lowered to $43 million. It went on to debut to $38.9 million, finishing second at the box office behind Top Gun: Maverick but marking a 50% decline from the $79.4 million opening of the first film. The low opening was blamed on the five year gap between installments, low audience interest, bad marketing making it indistinguishable to the first film, as well as the over-performances of Top Gun: Maverick and Twentieth Toons: The Quest for Toon Temple. The film dropped -50.4% and grossed $19.3 million while sliding to third place in its second weekend. It grossed $11.7 million in it's third weekend.
