Those are the dailies for the weekend, those weren't wrong.

What's wrong is the actual 'weekend' numbers, where they use the entire Friday thru Sunday gross, but only use the Sunday theater numbers to get the average for the weekend.

The differences between Box Mojo and Deadline have made things beyond confusing.

Deadline said on Thursday it had made $400k in US and $110k in Canada. Box Mojo said $417k on Thursday and seemingly weren't including Canada.

Deadline said on Friday it had made $57k on 50 screens. Box Mojo said $86k on 57 screens on Friday possibly including Canada.

Deadline and Box Mojo both have $1.81 million for the weekend. However by Thursday according to Deadline it would have been at $4.04 million total (inckuding Canada) so with a $1.81 million weekend it comes to $5.85 million but they say $5.97 million because that's what it's officially at.

So where did the other $120k come from? Is $1.81 million not including Canada now?

I got no idea.
What's wrong is the actual 'weekend' numbers, where they use the entire Friday thru Sunday gross, but only use the Sunday theater numbers to get the average for the weekend.
Thursday is wrong too because they have it as being in 901 theatres like Wednesday but it was actually in 251 theatres.

New update

"Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F is now up to $6.3M after a very strong Sunday play in only 181 theaters. And they reached that gross with only one showtime in most of the theaters since releasing the anime pic on Tuesday. Yesterday and today, the execs at FUNimation were able to capitalize on the film’s fan-crazed success and got some great news from exhibitors anxious to play the pic: It’s now able to up the theater count from the planned 200 theater to between 780 to 800 today."

Again I don't get it. I assume they made a mistake and meant Monday if it was at $5.97 million as of Sunday according to Funimation but that would mean it made around $330k on Monday and would have had a similar or even better theatre average than on Sunday.

I think the problem is this honestly.

Box Office Mojo is used by a lot of people and their setup isn't really designed for this type of limited release film that can change distribution so wildly day by day.

Deadline has heavily moved to clickbait style posts since Nikki left (not that it wasn't heavy on clickbait before, but it was a different type of clickbait), and the headlines for DBZ make FANTASTIC click-bait, especially since the writer seems to just be grabbing cost information from various places (my guess is she's mixing up numbers from Box Office Mojo and somewhere else and not keeping track of which is which, which is why numbers seem to be bouncing around a bit nonsensically.)

For actual literal numbers, until we hear otherwise, I'd suggest ignoring any numbers that aren't coming out of, or at least consistent, with Box Office Mojo (their numbers may very well be wrong, but since she isn't sourcing where she's getting her info, it makes it very hard to just go with random numbers.)

I'm beyond impressed with how well this movie has done. So it's now the highest grossing DB movie, pretty brilliant really. :)

No there's no issue with the total cume that they've been saying. The $5.97 million they mentioned was what they got from Funimation themselves as can be seen here

http://www.funimation.com/blog/2015/08/ ... 7-million/

I just find it strange that it made as much as it did on the Monday. It's essentially the same amount of money in the same amount of theatres which just seemed unlikely but it isn't impossible.

So wait, did FUNi distribute the film themselves or did they get help from Fox? Because Fox's logo is in front of the movie.

It's the same as Battle of Gods, Fox produced the movie. Funimation just dubbed it.

Produced implies that they made it. Every place I look at mentions FUNi but not Fox as the distributer.

Fox probably bankrolled the movie, I assume in some kind of attempted rights-retention move.

Box Mojo have given the gross for Australia and New Zealand. Though they still haven't updated it's overall overseas gross.

It made $82k in New Zealand. Battle of Gods made $18k total there so another vast improvement. Then Australia it's made $622k.

The combined total for those two countries is over 5x more what BoG made in it's whole run ($135k).

Brings the worldwide total to $58.7 million.

The US gross should also be a big improvement over the last couple days. We'll see if it gets it over $7 million. Passing $60 million this week seems very likely now.

Thank you Australian and new Zealand fans of Dragon Ball. You did a damn good job. :thumbup:

Or Toei needing a partner with international structures for distribution etc.

It's not really surprising that this movie surpassed DBE.

Tuesday gross.

"Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F grossed $1.2M yesterday and ranked No. 1 in average per screen over all other new releases this past weekend. The new North American cume for this anime surprise is now $7.5M with one more day left to play. So it not over yet."

That's really good again, I was hoping it'd get to a million. It's 8th day was bigger than BoG's opening day.

Just one more day to go now. It's theatre count for Wednesday is higher than Sunday and Mondays but less than half of Tuesday's.

Can it make $500k tomorrow to get to $8 million? Maaaaybe it'll need some luck though.

$59.9 million worldwide. Obviously passing $60 million now.

Woah! The U.S. has done brilliant with Ressurection F. It's stayed almost as good as it started even after a week, I was expecting a big drop sooner or later, but nothing. Well it's going beyond $60 million at least. :)

The Latin American and US fanbase have contributed immensely, and now it's gonna be up to us in the UK to do our bit. :P

Haha, some pressure coming off of these numbers for us here in the UK, but you're right! It's time for us to do our part. :P

That's what's surprised me a lot as well. The theatre average has been pretty consistent since Wednesday.

Now I wish they'd announced more days for it because it definitley could have outgrossed Dragon Ball Evolution's domestic gross as well.

Were gonna have to wait until the next movie for that though. I'm sure they'll extend the run even further.
