Official On-Going DBZ 2015 Movie Thread: "Resurrection 'F'"

[Lord Beerus]

I'm really hoping that Funi announces a FnF theatrical release slated for this year. Toei and Funi must realize the resurgent popularity DBZ is currently experiencing in the US thanks to Kai, Battle of Gods, and now Xenoverse, and it's not going to do either of them any favors to just sit on FnF for a year again. They really do need to strike while the iron is hot.

If ROF is released this year in the US, when do think it can be released? I mean the 2015 movie calendar from April to December is freakin stacked.

April - Furious 7
May - Avengers: Age of Ultron, Mad Max: Fury Road
June - Jurassic World, Ted 2
July - Ant-Man, Terminator Genisys, Minions, Mission: Impossible 5
August - Fantastic Four
October - Crimson Peak, Bridge Of Spies (A Steven Spielberg directed film starring Tom Hank. Nuff said.)
November - The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2
December - Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens

The earliest I could see ROF getting a theatrical release without any major competition is in September.

A film like "Revival Of F" will likely just receive limited US screenings at most (similar to "Battle Of Gods"), so I don't think much thought will be put towards competing films.

They wouldn't be aiming for wide publicity. Dragon Ball fans will make time for it and the movie will pick up a couple million at the domestic box office.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and I'm excited about whatever FUNimation may announce this weekend. Hoping for "Revival Of F." Expecting "The Final Chapters." DREAMING OF MORE FUNIBOXES AND THE JUMP SPECIAL.

[Valerius Dover]

Yeah, this didn't stop Battle of Gods from premiering around the same time of Michael Bay's TMNT movie, so I doubt that's any real concern.

It's just talking about that curry tie-in competition thing from yesterday. Nothing special from what I can tell.

As others have said, it would only get a limited screening anyway, so it doesn't matter what the competition is. That said, it will likely be in late July/early August, as that's when sci-fi, genre and anime film festivals like Fantasia take place.

As others have said competition isn't so much of a factor but I do think August would be a good time to release the movie. That way they can get the DVD/Blu Ray out for the Holiday's again.

More than anything I wold hope it'd get a bigger release than what Battle of Gods had, so in more theatres for more days with more showings.

[Friezaa!]

That means Toriyama wanted to have them fight, not that he planned out all the events leading to Majin Vegeta. His original plan very well could have been to just have them fight at the tournament.

I didnt say nor implyed he planned out 'all' the events leading up to the fight. just the important bits that would make the fight more 'epic'; You could tell he had that fight on his mind the entire time.

And that would have been horrible story writing to have them (the 2 most popular characters ) fight earlier on, in the round of 16 matches??? that was an obvious tease, and a common story telling technique...

[Ajay]

Regarding the announcement, it's going to be an interesting one. More than likely, we'll probably have some Boo Kai news. It's been so long since it began airing that I think it's probably about time for an announcement - not to mention the numerous confirmations from voice actors.

Something to note is that FUNimation has recently made pushes for 'Dub Simulcasts' when it comes to currently airing shows. With Tokyo Ghoul Root A and Death Parade, they've already got dubs going and the shows haven't even finished airing in Japan yet. It's a pretty big move and covers a totally unfulfilled area in the market, right now.

After many fans' responses to Battle of Gods were 'Didn't I already see this a year ago?' and prior to that, the incessant complaining about how long it took to get licensed and dubbed, I think FUNi may be looking to rectify those issues given the demand. From what I gather, Battle of Gods did pretty damn well with its limited screenings. Having seen how much attention Golden Freeza gathered online in circles outside of anime, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the film they actively push to get released ASAP.

Of course, there's a great deal of licensing issues since FOX is involved, but I'd like to think they see the benefits in getting this out as soon as possible. Xenoverse's success, followed by Boo Kai beginning to air, finished up with a Fukkatsu no F limited screening before or shortly after Christmas? Sounds like a reasonable schedule.

Total theory. Probably nonsense, but who knows!

That'll only happen if TOEI is willing to fund it. FUNimation aren't big enough a company to give it a full theatrical release on their own.

I suppose Fox could help give the movie a theatrical release in the States, maybe 1,000 theatres or something like that. It wouldn't warrant having a wide release like your ordinary blockbuster after all.

@Herms: Why are scanslations a "big no,no"? I am pretty new here.

Goku not going SSj does make sense since it can explain why he didn't go SSj against Uub at the end of DBZ. Once Goku has godly ki, he is much stronger in his base form now.

The problem is, this would also mean that Oob fought on par with a God.

The problem is that your making assumptions with a lack of information.
Buu Arc-A
Battle of Gods-B
RoF-C
Between RoF and End of Z-D
End of Z-E

You have the information from A and B, and a tiny, miniscule bit of C, but you have nothing from most of C and all of D.

You can't make any valid points about what effect this movie will have on the end of the series, because there is a huge gap in the timeline where we know nothing about what happens.

That isn't too much of a problem, we can just say that he didn't try at all. Think of it similar to Vegeta (rage boost) vs Beerus.

Actually you are the one making assumptions…the assumption that there will be new movies after RoF. As it stands now, the Goku Oob fights is the Goku from RoF. Unless you also think that Goku somehow loses his god power?

Goku was in no way trying in that fight. Uub wasn't on-par with him. Uub was literally learning to fight while he was fighting. Incredibly inexperienced. If he was on-par with Goku, then Goku's weaker than we thought. He wad holding back.

No, regardless of whether or not there are movies after RoF, there is still a blank 5 years between RoF and EoZ.

And no, that's not how it stands now. The Goku that Uub fights is EoZ Goku. Not RoF Goku. RoF Goku is in RoF.

[fadeddreams5]

How long is the gap between the Buu saga and EoZ? 10 years?

10 Years. BoG takes place 4 years into that, with RoF a year or so afterwards.
