Resurrection F Box Office - $64.8 million Worldwide

[Bullza]

I'm a bit sad to be honest.

Nah you don't wanna be sad. Conan is a very successful series in Japan and 2013's film already out grossed Battle of Gods by a fair bit.

On Monday and Tuesday DBZ only made a little less than it. Today it made considerably less (Conan made an estimated ¥93 million) but today was discount day which only affects women and DBZ has always been more of a guys thing which is possibly why it didn't benefit as much from the discount.

We'll see how they compare tomorrow.

Spring Vacation ended on Battle of Gods 7th day, likewise RoF's Golden Week will start on it's 12th day. So like I said before RoF opened much higher than BoG, BoG has caught up and will surpass it slightly early on but then RoF will pull back in front possibly by a large amount by the end.

The ¥4 billion goal hasn't been ruled out yet, we'll have a better idea after its second weekend.

Here we go!

Twice as many theatres? Awesome. That's got to boost the sales, one would have thought. Let's hope it smashes the target and sets us up nicely for a third movie.

I'm so disappointed that there's been nothing announced regarding UK screenings, but I still have a small hope it will happen.

I would prefer if they decided to expand dragon ball back into tv series instead of making movies every 2 years. Sure their making more money that way but so what? they should be glad that a 30 year old manga/show is still able to push this far despite the amount of time its been inactive in terms of getting any new content other than dragon ball kai. If saint seiya is getting a new show with movie quality animations then i don't see why dragon ball which has more than 8-10 times more viewership isn't able to get one? I see laziness and not giving a f*ck! And Toriyama is probably to blame for that.

I. . .uh. . .well. It's not as if Toriyama has ever stopped them from doing what they've wanted with DB right? He very much let them do as they pleased for GT. This narrative that AT is somehow keeping everyone down is absurd.

[GokuRules987]

So I just found something out and I better make it clear now so people don't get disappointed later on.

RoF did not make nearly as much money as BoG did on the Monday. It wont for the rest of the week either. In fact BoG will possibly pull in front of RoF's gross in a few days and will certainly be above it in admissions.

The reason for this is that BoG released in the middle of spring vacation whereas RoF did not.

When they say it opened 43% it's not exactly an apples to apples comparison because people may have waited to just see it on the Monday or Tuesday instead.

However RoF will eventually pull back in front when it takes advantage of the Golden Week and where BoG's spring vacation ended.

So basically it's going to lose ground to BoG then gain ground on it again and hopefully still make a lot more in the end.

I'm actually glad this movie made less than BoG. It will teach a perfect lesson to these sell outs that bringing back dead villains like Frieza who didnt even get any character development isn't going to make people want to throw more money at you. And new transformation form? this is just silly i bet 90 percent people already seen a fan art of Goku with blue super saiyan hair somewhere. in fact this looks even worse because his gi color clothes are still the same. If they decided to continue dragon ball with introduction of new universes and Gods, this movie would have made atleast ten times more money.

They should just give it a last try? I feel like GT was rushed because it came out right after dragon ball z anime ended, if they decided to make another dragon ball series 7-10 years later,they would have been able to come up with more fresher ideas with AT help ofcourse.

[FortuneSSJ]

Disappointed but Its still soon to give up.

[Bullza]

I'm actually glad this movie made less than BoG.

It's not going to make less money than BoG. It's still going to make a lot more money than it.

It could pass the ¥4 billion goal they set for it still. One site I saw that mentioned the box office figures for the weekend mentioned Toei estimating the film might make ¥5 billion.

Now I haven't seen that said anywhere else but I don't see why they'd make it up. I highly doubt that it will make that much at all but you'd figure it'd reach their goal with that kind of estimate.

Comments like this make wonder why who say them are even fans of this franchise.

It seems every time we get something new there are "fans" like you who want it to fail.

[GeeRod]

Wow...Seems like some fans jus want Dragon Ball to die. I'm glad this movie is doing well. More money to TOEI, more movies to us.

[rereboy]

He just said that he preferred this particular movie to not that great so that the next time they did something more like the movies he prefers.

If this was a new Broly movie I wonder if people would be criticizing that comment... And yet it would be exactly the same situation, the only difference would be people's tastes regarding the movie...

[sintzu]

If this was a new Broly movie I wonder if people would be criticizing that comment.

I would even though I'm not the biggest Broly fan cause if it ended up failing then chances are we won't get any more movies that could be a lot better.

I'm not happy with the way Gt turned out but it's a shame it did as bad as it did cause we could have gotten something better after it if did well but we'll never know due to it failing.

Except he wasn't saying he wants it to downright fail and make other movies impossible. He just said it didn't want it to be that great, meaning, still more enough to make money and motivate them to do other movies, but not as much that they think they did everything right in this movie.

And it doesn't even matter if he's right regarding that happening if the movie didn't do that great because his sentiment behind his post had no ill intent regarding Dragon Ball as a franchise as far as I can tell...

[sintzu]

Except he wasn't saying he wants it to downright fail and make other movies impossible.

He wants it to make less then BOG which will be 10-15 billion yen less then the 40 billion they want it to reach which will result in them looking at it as a failed project and when a studio sees a project failing they either pull the plug on it or take it in a different direction which will probably be without Toriyama which will make things worse.

See my edited post above.

You are merely disagreeing with him on what would happen. As far as you know, making less than BOB would still make them a pretty significant profit and still motivate them to do more movies, only trying different things this time. Who is right? Doesn't even matter... Regarding ill intent towards Dragon Ball, there's none in either opinion, but his post was being criticized as there was... Including by you.

If it was another Broly movie, there is a reason to say that.

You are only proving my point.

Yes, people like different things but that doesn't mean that some things aren't better than the other.

[rereboy]

Being better isn't an objective quality. Being better is always subjective. Something can only be better to someone and only because someone judged it to be better. Better is not a natural state of things, it's a judgment.

That's why there's no difference between this situation and if it was a Brolly movie, except people's opinions and tastes.

[sintzu]

Only trying different things this time.

Which could ruin a potentially great story that Toriyama has planned.

He could be planning to have Gohan&Piccolo be the major focus of the next movie to set them up to be as strong and important as Goku&Vegeta for future stories which would be great but due to this failing Toie will say they tried it with Vegeta and it didn't work so moving foreword Goku will need to be the movie's focus.

Like I said, that discussion (what would exactly happen) doesn't even matter to the point I was making. Imo, it's impossible to know what would exactly happen and if it would be better or worse in the long run quality-wise.
