Resurrection F Box Office - $64.8 million Worldwide

[BlackCatScott]

I'm not expert on box office figures, but for it to already have $11.4m after 6 days... and considering it's going to be screened in 74 countries... TOEI have got to be pretty confident of smashing their target, right?

Absolutely. They seemed to have upped everything for RF, better animation (persummably a higher budget too), more theatre screenings, 3D, longer run time etc it seems BoG was very much testing the waters. The sooner RF reaches TOEI's goal the sooner I guess they'll work on the next film, good times!

Exciting times ahead! I see no reason for them to stop. Dragon Ball will always be a money maker.

HOPEFULLY! Toriyama(George Lucas 2.0) wont be involved in it.

To compare anything Toriyama-sensei has done to the sheer level of awful that is the Star Wars Prequels / Indiana Jones 4 displays a severe lack of integrity or intelligence in film criticism.

But... I liked Revenge of the Sith.

revenge of the sith is good, but not compensate Jar jar binks or the horrible episode 2. And Revenge of the Sith is good but very far below the "Empire Strikes Back" that as dark film gives a hundred laps to "Revenge of the sith"

Everything is opinions than. Trash smells nice, flowers smells horrible. Ice are hot and fire are cool. Rocks are soft and balloons are hard. This are all opinions and people shouldn't say that somebody is wrong when saying this things.

When people say that the Earth is squared instead of spherical, or that dinosaurs didn't exist, you can say they are wrong because that's objective and can be determined and proven.

When people say that they like a smell that you don't and find it good, the most you can do is disagree.

If there are people that think that a squared is spherical and spherical is squared and they say that the Earth is indeed squared, he isn't wrong. In his opinion, spherical is squared.

No, they would be wrong because we can actually prove scientifically and mathematically when something is squared and when something is spherical. Square shapes and spherical shapes would exist even if no humans existed to look at them. The Earth would still be spherical even if it had no humans in it.

The same can't be said about a smell being "good". The quality of being "good" depends on it being "good" to someone. Without anyone for it to be good to, it's just a scent.

Now you're getting into the grey area of language. Words objectively mean things, but the things they mean are entirely subject to what people say they mean, so you've basically got facts that spring directly from opinions.

For example, "canon" being used as a synonym for "continuity" within fandom discussions. That's actually an improper usage of the term, but its use has become so ubiquitous across all fandoms in the English-speaking world that, in those specific contexts, I'd hesitate to call it incorrect anymore. Because at the end of the day, scholars don't determine what words mean: the people who use them do.

No, he wouldn't. Squared is a word to represent a shape and if he doesn't want to agree and want to call squared spherical, that's his problem. I'm just saying this to show that something can be vastly different on what people think. All this words represent things as supposed to is all because we have agreed upon it. At the end of the day, it's all opinions.

Exactly, if people want to call something bad good, it's all opinions.

They would be disagreeing regarding what name to call it, not the shape.

You are confusing "disagreement in naming conventions" with "disagreement regarding whether something fits a given definition or not".

Situation 1 - If two people disagree whether a scent fits into the definition of good, then we have a "disagreement regarding whether something fits a given definition or not". Since it's a subjective definition, this is a true disagreement and no one can prove the other wrong.

Situation 2 - If two people disagree whether Earth fits into the definition of spherical, we once again have a "disagreement regarding whether something fits a given definition or not". Only now we have a objective definition and so one can prove the other wrong.

Situation 3 - Two people disagree regarding what the term "Verisimilitude" means. Here we have a "disagreement in naming convention", which is clearly different from the other situations.

You are simply mixing all this together.

Usual Locations (43% of Market) - Saturday Admissions (As of 12PM)

14,830 - Dragon Ball Z: Revival of F (Toei)

That's currently down 63.7% from the same time last Saturday though that drop is slowly decreasing as the day goes on. Let's hope that number can reach 75,000 by the end of today though that's may be a stretch.

¥500 million second weekend and a sub 50% drop wouldn't be too bad for it.

Spoiler:

Were you going to toss some context out there at some point?

[SSGSSGOKU]

the movie is a great movie

[Bullza]

When are the school holidays?

The Golden Week dates this year are April 29th and then from May 3rd to May 6th. That includes Showa Day and Greenery Day etc.

I'm not sure if they also have the other days off as well so it meant they also have April 30th and May 1st off too or the days after May 6th until the end of the week.

I'll have to ask SaiyaJedi he'll know.

Saturday Estimated Gross - ¥232 million ($1.95 million)

Total - ¥1.592 billion ($13.38 million)

Admissions - 1.175 million


So I was originally hoping for more, something like ¥260-270 million if it were going to make ¥500 million but I'm told that unlike last week DBZ might make more money tomorrow which I wasn't expecting.

I'm also told that next weekend it could make around the same amount as it will this weekend.

I think Julian's theory about sales boosting again during the Golden Week sounds probable.

[sintzu]

What will happen if the movie only reaches have of it's goal ?

Will they stop making them ?

Will they force Toriyama to go with something else ?

Will they go with another writer ?

I hope it does better then half but going off these numbers it looks like it'll have trouble reaching that which is 20 million let alone 40 or more.

[Bullza]

Not sure where you're getting that from Sintzu it's made over $13 million in 8 days and Golden Week hasn't started yet and that will give the movie a big boost. It'll pass $20 million by the end of next weekend.

[SaiyanBaller22]

What days do Golden Week 2015 begin and end in Japan?

[sintzu]

Not sure where you're getting that from Sintzu it's made over $13 million in 8 days and Golden Week hasn't started yet and that will give the movie a big boost. It'll pass $20 million by the end of next weekend.

I just thought with a name as big as Dbz it would have made more by now.

You're obviously the numbers expert here so I'll take you're word for it which makes me feel better about the franchise's future.

How long was BOG in theaters ? and how long do you think this movie will be in ?
