Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Box Office Thread

You said average shonen film but those two aren't the average since that leaves out all the others released after Demon Slayer. If you look at the last 100 shonen films released, only a few made over $100 million.

While thats true but Demon slayer was really a game changer in my opinion, before demon slayer DB broly was still the biggest shonen movie and 2nd biggest was one piece stampede but after DS movie things changing.

Well that information is available online so we can doublecheck. The highest Broly ever reached was #11 or #12 and now it's #15. #1 anime film was Spirited Away from 2001 to 2020.

Thats all time movie ranks, but as a shonen only movie broly used to be the highest grossing movie(122 million) and then came stampede (93 million) but after DS the next two shonen movie RED made 246 million as of now which is the 2nd biggest shonen movie and 4th in terms of all time grosses go and then JJK 0 (196 million )which is 3rd biggest shonen movie and 7th as far as all time grosses go

Oh ok I wasn't sure if some of the standalone anime films were shonen or not. I know Case Closed is shonen and some grossed more than Stampede. There's still Slam Dunk, MHA, etc that didn't get over $100 million so going by two of the highest of all time wouldn't be considered "average". It would like saying the average super hero film should make over $2 billion when only the last two Avengers made that much.

So at the end of the day, Broly only made 22% more than Super Hero at the box office and that was all in a pre-pandemic society to boot, so Super Hero basically performed incredibly well considering the disadvantageous position it had.

I really underrated how much people were willing to show up, despite the shoddy marketing of this movie. Of course it seems the US has helped it massively to reach this milestone, compared to Broly and its underperformance in Japan in particular needs to be adressed by the next movie.

Kinda off topic but have anyone here saw the puss and boots the last wish? That movie was amazing, really caught me offguard

I haven't, but I've heard a lot of people who saw it felt the same. Maybe this will bode well for that fifth Shrek movie, which has apparently been in the pipeline for.... Donkeys years.

I agree on the marketing department. What the fuck was up with that? Horrible. Only thing I’ll give them credit for is hiding gohans form, well, at least for the Japanese audience.

I still wouldn’t talk about this as “broly only making 22% more”. Instead, I view this as DBS being extremely good after the cancellation of the anime. People probably had high hopes after broly and decided to give this movie a chance despite it being CGI, and As far as I’ve seen throughout the internet, Broly and Super Hero are loved by even the biggest dbs haters.
