Masters of the Universe was released theatrically in the United States on August 7, 1987. It was a critical and commercial failure, grossing $17 million worldwide against a budget of $22 million, but is now regarded as a cult film. Though referred to by many as the "first" He-Man movie, The Secret of the Sword, released over two years earlier as an introduction to He-Man's twin sister She-Ra, was actually first theatrically released movie to star He-Man and feature Masters of The Universe characters.
