By the power of Google, it is $31,263.00 US Dollars, which is probably more than three times the film's budget. :lol:

Thanks Jacob, is that hard to do in japanese theatres? At least for anime, how much are tickets in japan? is that a realistic goal for this?

Jacob, did you forget a comma or a zero or something? Google says it's a little over 31 million, unless "3 billion yen" is the wrong number.

You're right, Google was being weird and gave me a wrong number so I re-typed the question and just assumed the answer was the correct thirty-one million-ish.

3 billion yen seems pretty high for an anime movie. However, Film Z made that much in 10 days, making it Toei's highest grossing film of all time.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

So is Toei being reasonable with their expectations, for battle of gods and DBZ in this day and age at the movies?

I asked that Gonstead, and didn't get much of response, all they can really show is Gotenks and Vegeta getting beat bye Bills, or if willing parts of SSJG Vs. Bills!! All of which I only want to see when the full movie comes out, so It's not ruined before hand. Unless they show something outside of a fight scene.

There's something absolutely hilarious about that picture of Vegeta.

Really wish they'd use Ultimate Gohan in the promo material more often. I hate the Super Saiyan-supersaturation that Dragon Ball became. I usually wonder if someone who has never seen it assumes that all the SSJs they'd see in one image are pretty much the same character.

To add on to what everyone said in response to Vice, Piccolo shouldn't be able to fuse with everyone on Namek to begin with. At least, according to the Daizenshuu, only Namekians of the same clan can fuse with each other (Piccolo and God being a special case).

I've become far more fond of Birusu/Beers/Bills/Billy than I tought I would. Those short scenes were interesting and while I like Goku, there was something very entertaining about seeing him getting whooped like that. My favorite scene was Goku's reaction to Birusu tauting him. :lol: Hopefully, he doesn't end up brushing off that defeat that easily, here and after the last fight.
