Wow it's pretty crazy these two were the highest grossing of the original films. I always assumed the first Broly film ranked #1 based on his popularity. I'm not sure how accurate it is but Wikipedia has the home video sales. Return of Cooler, Super Android 13, and Lord Slug also sold more than Broly the LSSJ.Xeno Goku Black wrote: ↑Sat Jun 18, 2022 12:44 pm4.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Box Office Thread
Well also notice that Fusion Reborn which is the second most popular of the 90's movies and introduced Gogeta isn't even in the top 10.
I think the 90's movies success was dependent on the popularity of the anime at the time. The two most successful both came out in 1992. With the exception of the Broly movie then the next two were on either side of that in late 1991 and early 1993.
Similar time frame as the whole Androids saga really.

Oh that makes sense! Thanks for providing sources too. It's a little frustrating when you hear claims and no idea where they originated. It's helpful that you share sources in your posts .Xeno Goku Black wrote: ↑Sat Jun 18, 2022 4:57 pmWell also notice that Fusion Reborn which is the second most popular of the 90's movies and introduced Gogeta isn't even in the top 10.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Box Office Thread
Oh I have all links backlogged from last time with Broly lol.
Anyway, the day ain't over yet in Japan it's 7:48pm but it's slowing down quickly enough that I can't see any difference being made now.
Said yesterday Resurrection F and Broly increased 24% and 31%. Super Hero has increased...by 1%....
Which should be the same gross then. If last weekend it made ¥670,000,000 from 357,000 tickets sold on Mimorin then this weekend it selling 154,000 tickets should mean a second weekend gross of ¥289 million. That's down 57%.
The lowest opening movie having the largest second weekend drop...yeah that's not good is it?
Total should be ¥1.22 billion. Getting to a point now that even ¥2.5 billion could be a stretch.

No I'm not including that, without the independents I know Mimorin covers around 70% of all theatres in Japan. If you include the independents then because its unclear what portion they make up it messes up any calculations.KingSailem wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 7:18 amSo are you not including the independent numbers?

Moreover, I checked the Dub Trailer views and it hasn't reached 1 mill even after 4 days which is no good for DB franchise.
I don't actually care for numbers outside of what this could tell the development team of how to handle the story from now on. The Goku and Vegetable show part 2 is almost a certainty now ....

If it's any consolation it did pick up a little late night steam and finished the day with an increase of about 4.4%.
It does seem like ¥300 million would be the best it could do though.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Box Office Thread
If Toriyama, Toei and Toyotaro had actually put in the effort to competently write Piccolo and/or Gohan in the last decade, whether it be the anime, manga or movies, maybe more people would have been invested in seeing them as central characters in a story down the line. You can only rely on the goodwill some fans have for seeing their favourite characters being the centre of attention in the narrative after many years of sub-standard treatment for so long.Michsi wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 8:05 amDamn, this is disheartening.Xeno Goku Black wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 7:06 am

With the news of Toriyama initially writing DBSSH for Piccolo to be the sole protagonist until he was convinced by produces to include Gohan, and the underwhelming adverting for this film in Japan and internationally, I'm starting to think Toei did not have a lot of faith in Toriyama's general story concepts for this film and were just expecting the Dragon Ball brand name to carry the film to success. Looks like the film will underperform in Japan (at least based Toei's initial expectations), so it really is down to the international markets carrying this film to great financial success. But with the film already being leaked in full (and in acceptable quality with English subtitles), I have a horrible feeling it may even underperform internationally.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Box Office Thread
I think the main problem is they truly dont know what to do with the characters anymore so thats why they are constantly relying on nostalgia baits,Toriyama could have come up with different kind of monster but he settled with CELL, Gohan again have to see piccolo going down for reaching new form , DB desperately needs new people and more new ideas.Not to mention Toriyama dont even remember there was a series called super, in his mind DB is over in 42nd volume. Anyway This movie will play in 2300 theaters(US) much bigger than Broly(1260), its a real shame Broly didnt get that treatment.Lord Beerus wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 9:31 am If Toriyama, Toei and Toyotaro had actually put in the effort to competently write Piccolo and/or Gohan in the last decade, whether it be the anime, manga or movies, maybe more people would have been invested in seeing them as central characters in a story down the line.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Box Office Thread
What, where is it stated Piccolo was gonna be the only protagonist? And come on, the quality of what you're speaking of is not acceptable at all.
Re: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Box Office Thread
That was said in the pamphlet whrere Toriyama said it was supposed to be completely piccolo movie but ioku convinced him about gohan

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Box Office Thread
Toriyama might consider all of the series as "Dragon Ball" and forgot the anime makes a distinction like with Z and Super. It's kinda true he's only thinking of the original 42 volumes since Super all takes place within the last volume.Jiren The Alpha wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 11:39 amYoutube level misinfomation on Kanzenshuu is really sad to see.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Box Office Thread
My thing is if you're going to nostalgia bait with an old villain at least do it in a way that the fans of said villain would like. He went with his favorite form of Cell which is the least favorite of fans and turned him into a rage monster with no speaking lines. He could have made the final villain a giant grizzly bear and it would have given off the same effect. So he lost out on Cell fans and fans that would have wanted a new villain. I would have been hyped if he actually took the time to incorporate the old Cell/a new intelligent version or at least a new charismatic villain. People want to say that recycling an old villain is lazy, but taking an old villain design and turning it into a grunting dimwit is peak laziness. There is no unpleasant implications or vendettas, just snarling and mindless mouth slobber. I don't want to see Gohan and Piccolo basically fight a giant bear, just doesn't interest me at all. This isn't The Fox and the Hound, it's Dragon Ball, and he really dropped the ball where it counts when it comes to marketing. I'm not trying to be antagonistic towards you at all, I just get a bit peeved when people say that Cell Max is Cell, or Toriyama brought back CELL. If it was Cell I'd be a lot more into it than I am.Mr_CINDER wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 10:21 amI think the main problem is they truly dont know what to do with the characters anymore so thats why they are constantly relying on nostalgia baits,Toriyama could have come up with different kind of monster but he settled with CELL, Gohan again have to see piccolo going down for reaching new form , DB desperately needs new people and more new ideas.Not to mention Toriyama dont even remember there was a series called super, in his mind DB is over in 42nd volume.

We have Dragon Ball GT, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Heroes, Dragon Ball Minus, Dragon Ball Fighterz and Dragon Ball Legends etc, so i don't blame him for forgetting the name Dragon Ball Super, but people makes it seem like he don't care or he doesn't know that they was a anime series.Mr_CINDER wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 11:50 amToriyama said in the pamphlet that he completely forgot about super and thats why the name sound repetitiveJiren The Alpha wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 11:39 amYoutube level misinfomation on Kanzenshuu is really sad to see.Mr_CINDER wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 10:21 am

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Box Office Thread
I wholeheartedly agree with you on this topic, dont know why but I think there is some altercations going on between Toriyama's vision of DB and what the stuff wants, take for example in this movie he decided to go with piccolo as a main character but ioku convinced him to include gohan and he had to listen to it although I am not saying that could have turned the movie more awesome in any shape or form.Extreme_kai wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 12:02 pm My thing is if you're going to nostalgia bait with an old villain at least do it in a way that the fans of said villain would like.
