Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

I don't know what was thought up behind the scenes but as far as the movies go there does seem to be that kind of narrative where after Buu, Gohan stopped training for years and could now only go Super Saiyan. By Super Hero, he just seems to be focused on his work, makes some kind of comment where i...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Box Office Thread

How much do you guys think the increased number of theaters screening this is affecting the BO? I couldn't put a number on it but if the movie wasn't in 1,800 more theatres than Broly it more than likely would have grossed less. US is pretty much the only major market so far where Super Hero will s...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Toriyama didn't even remember the series was called Dragon Ball Super so it's safe to say in his mind he isn't going to take anything from the anime into account. I'd say it would go Dragon Ball the manga, Battle of Gods, Resurrection F, his general concepts and interpretations for the succeeding st...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

So from what I can make out there's a few different ways to take it. 1. You can go purely by the manga -> Broly movie -> manga where it's easy enough to make an order of things. Broly is just not really anything special there, apparently he's surpassed by Blue Evolved Vegeta even. The Super Hero mov...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Box Office Thread

It really was, it had a 5 day of $50 million. Take into account that The Phantom Menace, one of the most anticipated movies in history and a 16 year long awaited prequel to the most famous movie franchise in history did only twice that.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Box Office Thread

Tuesday gross - $1.57 million Total - $24.2 million Worldwide - $54.7 million Most movies increased 30-40% today but Super Hero only increased by 4% but again this was what I expected as Demon Slayer did the same. MHA decreased a few percent so a decent sign. Already not far off from Broly. It will ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Box Office Thread

One Piece got Obon Festival.

Battle of Gods, Resurrection F and Broly all opened in time for a major holiday. Super Hero was the only one that didn't. It was meant to but the hack stopped that happening.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Box Office Thread

and again I am sorry but the ammount this movie made in japan shows that DB is clearly not popular anymore It's still currently the 16th highest grossing movie of the year in Japan. It's made more money than Hollywood blockbusters like Doctor Strange 2, Venom 2 and Lightyear. Yeah it did drop 37.5%...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

At this point the only thing that's gonna make sense is if the anime comes back and they adapt Broly straight through to Super Hero.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Box Office Thread

I still think any underperformance is still largely down to the fact that this movie had no real selling point, a hook. If you were to summarise briefly the last four movies, Super Hero is the one that just sounds like it would bring in the least amount of viewers. That the movie being CGI, a contro...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Box Office Thread

Do you think it would reached ¥ 3 billion atleast if it was released on its OG Holiday week run ? Potentially. The movie has made $2.49 million and sold 1.77 million tickets. It would have needed to have sold 2.14 million to have reached ¥3 billion. So it's really a question of did Super Hero lose ...

Re: Is Dragon Ball the biggest manga/anime series globally?

As an entire whole worldwide yes. Dragon Ball and Pokémon are the two most well known anime around and the latter is only really still a thing because of the popularity of the games. The Broly movie was the highest grossing anime movie outside of Japan (maybe Japan and China) except for the first Po...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

I just checked one fansub and yeah Piccolo does say that the Gamma androids seem to be on par with Goku and Vegeta but in the dub he definitely said that they were as great a threat as any.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Box Office Thread

Monday gross - $1.5 million. Total - $22.6 million Worldwide - $53.1 million. About what I expected if not a bit more. It's not even a bad drop, Beast dropped more. Tuesday usually sees an increase. Based on JJK and MHA this movie kinda needs to be at $33 million come Sunday if it's got a chance at ...

I could have sworn all Piccolo said was that they were as much a threat as anyone they'd ever faced in the sub at least. No comparison to Goku unless it was a sub thing.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Box Office Thread

It's not like ¥2.5 billion is bad. It's almost on par with the highest grossing Naruto movie and that was a huge title.

They'd know as well that missed the holiday weekend and the lack of anime would cause it to see a dip.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

So in the movie continuity is Orange Piccolo just Super Saiyan Blue level then? It's all so complicated now. Tying it in with the manga he should be Ultra Instinct/Ultra Ego level. Though if Orange Piccolo is Blue level then it means Ultimate Gohan and the others are....the same as where there were ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Box Office Thread

Perhaps it will go beyond RoF afterall? Worldwide? That's already a certainty. Resurrection F made about $65 million worldwide. So it's only $14 million away. If it can follow MHA World Heroes Mission and Jujutsu Kaisen's pattern in US then Super Hero could finish with $40 million. It should pass R...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Box Office Thread

The Numbers is saying that the US weekend actual is really $21,053,798. Up by about $950,000.

What that gives us is...

US - $21.05 million
Japan - $18.5 million
Rest of World - $12 million (still an estimate)

Total - $51.55 million.

More than Battle of Gods.
