Here's a source for Australian Box Office.

It updates twice a week. So we should know how it's performed after the weekend unless it's mentioned on Deadline or Screendaily first.

I have high hopes that the movie will surpass DB Evolution. I believe Dragonball Evolution's box office was around $57.6 million if I'm correct?

You couldn't be any more close. It was $57.49 million.

"Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F grossed $57,730 on 50 screens with a per screen avg of $1,155 on Friday to bring its overall cume to $4.1M. Today, this anime powerhouse from FUNimation and Fathom Events charges back into 922 U.S. theaters and 42 locations in Canada with an eye on the prize"

Again following the pattern of BoG where it dropped big on the Friday due to a lack of theatres. It dropped a tad lighter is all (86% vs 89%).

However whereas as BoG only increased to 251 theatres on Saturday, RoF as it says above is going to be in 964 theatres so it could hopefully be looking at another $1 million+ day which would out it over $5 million.

And yeah Box Mojo didn't include the Canadian gross into the Thursday figure.

I'm actually shocked it's doing so well! I'll be massively amazed if it does another 1 million+ day, but here's hoping.

Same here I thought with Super confirmed retelling it people wouldnt bother but Word of mouth has been very very strong for the movie that coupled with bringing Freeza back and FUNi's marketing I probably think that's why it's done so well. It's so weird though last year Kanzenshuu was the only place where I could find people not moaning about BoG but this year it's the opposite.

[Bullza]

Funimation released a statement the other day on it's success and for the most part tells us what we already know except for this interesting tidbit to do with Battle of Gods.

"With its 2-day gross, “Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’” has far and away eclipsed the total 8-day box office ($2.8 Million) of last year’s “Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods.”

As far as we were all aware it had made $2.55 million (in 8 days) as that's what BOM has it at but I guess not. I wonder if that is also a case of them not including the Canadian gross.

Fingers crossed future movies get released by Fox, Funimation's distribution power is literally nonexistant, 50 screens on debut Friday...

In all fairness, a major feature length movie (Fant4stic Four) got released during that period. So ROF was gonna lose screens regardless.

And it was a FOX film too, I read a comment by someone saying that FUNi are distributing the film to screens FOX have given them so this does make sense if true.

It's nice to see Resurrection F making this much! Honestly the numbers surprised me, considering the movie was more or less a rehash on an old villain (which to some people was a turn-off). I personally didn't mind the background story and I'll be buying a Blu-Ray hard copy the day it comes out

[Bullza]

I would hope that Fox would at least consider distributing the next movie themselves in US as everything I've read on this movies performance has been very positive.

It was Diamond Films that distributed BoG in Argentina, Chile and Mexico, it did well in those countries so this time Fox decided to distribute the movie in those countries instead.

If Fox were to distribute it it'd be in more theatres, it would have a consistent theatre count from a day to day and would have more showing per day.

It'd make more money that's a given. It's not like it needs a multi million dollar marketing campaign either. The advertising for this one was good enough. Maybe a few trailers shown with other movies in theatres and that's it.

It'd easily clear $15 million.

[Hellspawn28]

More screenings for ROF would be nice, but it coast more money to put the movie a lot of screenings. ROF is one of those movies where all of the fans go see it on the first week and it dies out quick on the second week. It was like that with Godzilla 2000 and the first four Pokemon movies in theaters. That's why limited releases work for DBZ movies.

[Bullza]

Well it'd never warrant a theatre count of 2,500+ or something like that but I've seen a lot of people mentioning how the nearest showing is over an hour away.

If Fox could put the movie out in say 1,500 theatres and then kept it in that amount for 2 straight weekends with more showings it would make enough to offset the cost.

It is the kind of movie that's very frontloaded but the theatre average shows that there's a lot of room to improve. Some theatre chains are actually giving it extra days and showing because of it.

BoG showed that a sequel could make a lot more and it has. This one still shows that the next one could make a lot more.

Saturday

"Meanwhile, Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F, which was released last Tuesday to staggering box office grosses, is on track to become the first indie to break into the Top Ten for highest-grossing Anime films. The event-release film had sailed past an estimated $1M in box office earlier this AM in about 922 theaters so it should gross over $5M and it won’t stop playing until next week"

Good news yet again for the movie. I wonder how much it sailed past by. That's not including Canada again because the 922 theatres was just for US.

Good news yet again for the movie. I wonder how much it sailed past by. That's not including Canada again because the 922 theatres was just for US.

So by adding the Canadian Thursday gross and Friday and Saturday gross to the worldwide gross, that would make F's worldwide gross roughly $56,732,965 which means that it only has to make another million to surpass Evolution worldwide. I'll tally up the numbers again when the official statements come out for Saturday just in case there's another half a thousand or so added to the 1 million.

"Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F grossed another $1.36M on Saturday to bring its five-day total to $5.58M in North America, easily jumping past the total domestic grosses of Hayao Miyazaki’s Howl’s Moving Castle ($4.7M) and The Wind Rises to become the first indie in the Top Ten highest grossing Anime films domestic. "

"Due to overwhelming response from our fans, we have over 200 theaters coming back on for tomorrow,” ... “And we now have 250 for Tuesday so that will be 450 locations for those two days that we didn’t have in our initial plan. Our fan base has really embraced the film, and it’s going to push (the gross) even higher in the week.”

So now it's more than doubled BoG's run. It will be passing $6 million comfortably too.

With the $51.7 million it's made overseas that's now put the movie at $57.28 million worldwide and a mere $220,000 away from beating Dragon Ball Evolution.

And as it says above, it's doing that well that it's going to be shown in more theatres than was planned which of course means even more money for it.

[Baggie_Saiyan]

Do you think it has legs to beat DBE's 9m domestic total? Or is that asking too much.

[Bullza]

No as it lacks the theatre count necessary to do it. It made well over $1 million on the Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday because it in around 900 theatres.

Sunday it's in 154 theatres so that might mean a couple hundred thousand. Monday it's got 200 theatres so again maybe the same.

Tuesday will be bigger because it has 800 theatres that day so it might get close to a million. Then Wednesday it has 357 theatres so maybe a few hundred thousand.

Perhaps it can do $7-7.5 million.

[VejituhTheWarriorGuy]

So that puts the movie at 57,280,000 worldwide?
