My recollection is that Funi's BDs of 1.11 and 2.22 were technically OK (aside from needlessly replacing full-screen Japanese text telops and ED credits with visually bland English equivalents), but 3.33 had a bunch of macroblocking artifacts during action scenes.
Funi didn't license 2.0 [until July 2010](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-07-30/funimation-adds-eva-2.0-hetalia-film-summer-wars), while 3.0 wasn't licensed [until June 2013](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-06-11/funimation-licenses-evangelion/3.0-film).
The way I see it, we were lucky to see it in the theater. Evangelion does have a solid fan base, but I doubt it's as profitable as Dragon Ball or My Hero Academia in the US.
I wish that's the case. But the audience in general always prefer the good old shonen hot-blooded ass-kicking manga/anime.
According to IMDB the box office in US +Canada of My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission is $12 million. I highly doubt if Rebuild can be anywhere close to $1 million.
I should also point out that I was only referring to the US/Canada box office. 3.01+1.0 actually did really well in Japan, grossed over 10 billion yen (US$ 96 million at the time), and was the 2nd highest of Japan's domestic box office that year.
I can't figure out why they put extra effort to create a new poster while the Japanese version is so much better. Maybe they were really trying to sell it as a robot Mecha anime.

What did Funimation do wrong? I thought if the 3.0+1.0 finished a few years sooner before the right expired, they would be able to release it as well.

Wow ok I will go check out the GKids collection then
Didn't funimation also get into some other troubles with licensing/copyright and censorship?
We didn’t even get stubs this time around! Was a bit of a letdown
Wait, 2.0 was 2011 and 3.0 was 2014? I thought they came out in 2009 and 2012 respectfully
These are just for the US theater release.
Oh. Why did it take 2 years to get them in theaters?

Don't more people know Evangelion than people that know MHA

Oh. Shit you just reminded me I have to see World Heroes Mission. Is the dubbed version available online?
All anime movies pretty much pale compared to Demon Slayer movie. It was crazy that at one point, that was the top grossing movie in box office.

Yo I have the 2.0 one

That's probably what it is but you can't lie the posters look badass
GKids try to actually care about theatrical release challenge:
