Dragon Ball Z - $49.05 million Worldwide

That's better than I expected and actuals could go up even further. It should more than likely surpass Battle of Gods by next Sunday.

Some more details are coming in now.

It made $1.75 million from 10 markets over the weekend. That includes $707,000 from Venezuela and it's made $2.2 million total there so far.

If it made $848,000 last weekend then the movie hardly dropped at all, only like 16.5% which is very bizarre if true.

Battle of Gods made $1.05 million total there after 9 weeks.

I'm very impressed with the level of success RoF is achieving, Great year to be a fan of the series!!!!

Unfortunately box office actuals went down this week though only by as much as actuals went up the previous week.

They severely over estimated Venezuela (I thought it was bizarre) and it actually made $467,000 for the weekend and $1.9 million total.

In Mexico it grossed $220,000 for the weekend with a total of $6.1 million. A total of 2.17 million tickets have been sold.

In Argentina it's grossed a total of $2.2 million.

It had a $1.62 million weekend and a total of $48.8 million worldwide.

Small setback really. Will hit $50m this week and surpass BOG's global gross before even premiering in US & France, with much less favourable exchange rates

Here's some details to show you guys the comparison between Battle of Gods and Resurrection 'F's cinematic release in Australia.

Battle of Gods was released in Australia for initially 1 day but it extended to 7 days due to high demand. The film played in 12 theatres across the country, most theatres were showing 1 session per day but some were showing 2 or 3.
Box Office Mojo lists that the film made $117,258 from the 30th and the 31st of August (Saturday and Sunday). They didn't put up how much the film made later on so the total should be higher. One thing to consider is that the film barely had any promotion in Australia, the only "promotion" that existed were a couple of posts on Madman Entertainment's social media pages and a trailer on YouTube (which didn't really have a lot of views at the time).

Resurrection 'F' is going to be out for a week in most theatres, at least 4 days in some theatres and at max 2 weeks in a couple of theatres. The film will be played in 50 theatres across the country (this probably isn't the total yet so I'll come back and edit this post once there is), on weekdays the film has only 1 session but on the weekend the film has 2 sessions. Also, the film will be playing in 3D in 8 of the 50 theatres. Promotion for the film is essentially the same thing but it has grabbed WAY more attention than Battle of Gods. It comes out on August 6th (a Thursday).

I REALLY hope the film does well for a limited release in Australia. From what I've heard some cinemas have tickets sold out already so that's a good sign (well... It's a bad sign if you haven't bought tickets yet).

Are you sure the main post is correct?

Weekend 1: ¥960 million ($8.1 million)
Weekend 2: ¥466 million ($3.9 million) = Total: ¥1,833 million ($15.4 million)

Shouldn't this add to 1,426 billion?

I've seen multiple sources citing different values.

[Dbzejo]

Niceeeee.... Too bad the whole plot is going to be rewritten

[Bullza]

Shouldn't this add to 1,426 billion?

No because that wouldn't be counting the Monday-Friday gross it made in between. Those are just the figures for the weekend. Meaning it made ¥407 million in between those two weekends.

I've seen multiple sources citing different values.

Your first link from Twitter Box Office was a estimated gross, however when actuals came in it ended up being overestimated as was mentioned by Deadline.

"Fox’s Japanese hit Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection Of F (released locally by Toei) earned another $1M from 550 screens in the 4th frame for a cume of $27.4M ($28.3M had been estimated)."

So your second link from Box Mojo has the right figure. It is also what I had the movie listed at making by it's fourth weekend as can be seen in the OP.

Your third link was for an article made June 21st and has the more up to date figures of $30.9 million whereas the $27.4 million figure was as of May 10.

I hope that clears things up.

[Doctor.]

Ah, thanks for clearing stuff up.

[Bullza]

Mexico - $6.19 million.

It'll likely be out of the top 10 with the next update so we might not hear anything else.

I forgot to mention at the time but this movie has outgrossed BoG in Latin America now. It's done $18 million as of last Sunday compared to BoG's $15.6 million.

I'm expecting it to be around $50-50.5 million at the end of this week. It might pass BoG but if it doesn't it definitley will by the weekend after

After that I suppose the next goal is for it to surpass Dragon Ball Evolution's $57.5 million to become the highest grossing Dragon Ball film.

Well with Frieza being a classical villain that's left an iconic imprint in the hearts of countless individuals, I wouldn't be surprised if this was one DBZ movie both current fans and former fans alike refused to turn down.

The decision to watch FnF may have specifically been for the purpose of taking delight in the nostalgia brought forth by the old school villain many grew up watching all those years back.

At AnimeExpo, Sean Schemmel said that everybody should go and see it so that it does more money at the box office than Dragon Ball Evolution.

So what do we think the chances of this are as it stands? According to boxofficemojo, DBE made worldwide $57,497,699

I think it is quite a possibility, it's already almost 85% of the way there and that's without being released in the three big English speaking countries! I just hope that MangaUK don't end up messing this up for everyone...

It's definitely possible that ROF could surpass DBE in terms of gross revenues. It's already on the verge of $50,000,000 and it's hasn't even finished it's run in Latin America. And there are still several more screenings set for more countries in Europe. I think the screenings for the movie in the US could pull, at least, $3,000,000. I'd love to contribute as well, but MangaUK is screwing around so much, that it seems like the UK won't be able to do its part.

[Bullza]

It should be impossible for it to not outgross DBE. The movies been released in 23 countries and Toei said it was going to be released in 74 countries. That might not necessarily mean in theatres in 74 countries but it'll be in enough that it will certainly surpass DBE.

Between what's left in the tank in Latin America and then just the countries it's been announced in like US, Australia, South Korea, and Spain it's going to be close to DBE figures anyway without anything else announced.

I'm thinking it'll be at $55-56 million by the end of August.

[TheGmGoken]

Revival of F was announced in Korea? When

[Bullza]

ScholarGohan sent me a PM saying the movie was being released in South Korea in September and if he said it then it's gotta be true, he's pretty good at being on top of things before anyone else.

[BlackCatScott]

So there's a good chance of it happening! That would be so good.

My hopes of a UK release are completely dead now. The amount of tweets they've had about it and they don't reply to anyone about it anymore. It seems they had talks but they must not have went to plan. It's sad. How can it be THAT difficult to get when so many other countries have managed it with no issues? I think questions really need to be raised about this to MangaUK. They've got the rights for a big franchise here and they've failed to deliver again. Not having Battle of Gods in cinemas was a bummer to start with, but when there's such a number of countries getting cinematic screenings of F, it's really disappointing.

Man, MangaUK really dropped the dragonball here.
