I found this film to be quite entertaining. I enjoyed the idea that no matter how strong Goku became, there are still stronger beings out there.

Before I got to watch this film, I presumed that Lord Bills and Whis would be boring characters. Boy, was I wrong. Bills and Whis were fun, entertaining characters. I wouldn't mind them returning in the future.
Something that made me ponder...

I would have no problem with other Saiyans being alive, but I am tired of them. For now though, I'm just going to take it to mean Tarble isn't on Earth and maybe include Tullece, Paragus and Broli as still being out there too since their movies can't work with the main timeline.

I don't really mind the idea of other hiding Saiya-jin...I mean really...are we to believe that ONLY 5 out of a planet of millions were off planet at the time?

Provided they ditch Broly entirely. I can only imagine the hell that would be unleashed if Broly became canon. Id leave it at Tullece and Paragus. If they did bring Broly back id like to see his whole LSSJ thing utterly removed. Just make him a Saiyan that was born a Super Saiyan instead of that big LSSJ form.

Dragon Ball Z Battle of Gods is the best selling movie right now in Ecuador, surpasing The disney movie that´s about planes or something.

It sold 560.000.00 for now with 116.000 attendance in one week!.

Here are the charts. by the way this is only one movie theather. Supercines, there´s another one named Cinemark which is also screening Battle of Gods, there are no released charts of that one but we can almost asure it´s more or less the same number as it´s a popular one too!.
There's room for only one snake, and one big boss.

That sounds really nice, altough it is true that surpass this particular Disney Movie won't be probably trouble for other titles.

Looks like by some margin too. Awesome!

Great news for the franchise. Can't wait to see how it performs elsewhere. :D

This is pretty much where I'm at. I have no problems believing that more Saiyans survived. At the same time though, I'm not really eager to see more of them either, unless something were done where they had a story of their own that had nothing to do with our main cast. Even then though, I'd rather see some non-Saiyans get some spotlight.

My copy finally arrived! But, unlike a majoirty of the people who have gotten it here. I went with the regular edition Blu-ray, so I took about 10 photos of it to show everything in there and another 10 for the Soundtrack. I'll put it in spoiler tags as to not clutter the page or potentially slow it down. Sorry if the pictures are kinda iffy. Only camera I have on me is the one on the iPhone. I also had to position everything weird since the back camera is better than the front from my experiences, so I used that.
Also got the Freeza saga Full Color Comics 4 and 5, plus the one non-Dragon Ball item. The World Ruler - Nightmare.

I received my copy today! Along with a customs charge of 19 EUR.... :evil:

Never again. I'm happy I got my copy (and even got a cover sleeve and poster), but it's just too damn expensive now. And then they wonder why people choose to watch it online. :x

Via ANMTV
In Argentina 40,000 people attended screenings of BoG on the first day.

Also in response to BoG in Argentina the company Entertainment Supplies will launch DVD releases of the DBZ movies

Also in Mexico there were midnight screenings of the film in which many of the dub actors attended and signed posters and stuff

That is freakin' awesome. I take it the movie did well then. :)

No reason to not make another one now, Toei. :wink:

EDIT: So I've been watching a couple of clips that were recorded by South American fans inside the theatres, just to listen to the reactions of the crowd (C'mon, I'm allowed to. I own the DVD already. :P ), and wow, it must be so much cooler to watch this film at the cinema with hundreds of other fans. The audience literally erupted into applause when Vegeta begins his assault. :D Another clip I saw had people clapping at the Toei Animation logos before a surprised "Whaaa-" when the 20th Century Fox logo popped up. There was a massive cheer when Toriyama's name appeared though.

The reception for this film seems really positive over there. Really gives you an idea of how much they love the series.

EDIT 2: Footage from one of the screenings in Peru. Magic.
