Resurrection F Box Office - $64.8 million Worldwide

[GokuRules987]

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

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.

Nice then lets make Toei becomes the next Activision or Treyarch like with yearly call of duty releases selling just because of their name with slightly shinier shaders and reskinned maps and calling it a new game every year.

BTW I'm a huge dragon ball fan. I originally watched dragon ball in English sub and then watched dragon ball z in English sub and only after that i rewatched all of them in English dub.

Problem with DB RoF is that very inconsistent and mostly plot less. Its almost like a complete different universe that falls outside of the original manga. instead of moving forward and trying something new all we get is another lame villain revival, Goku somehow being the only one who survived and Frieza with his new shiny form. This movie could have been easily been made into a few episodes. If this movie makes more money, Toei will assume that this movie was more successful than battle of gods even though BoG story and character development completely shitted on RoF. And we will just continue getting terrible DBZ movies every 2 years with whats going to be next? resurrection of Cell? resurrection of Buu.

This fanbase can be really pathetic most of the times.

Opinions are like butts, everyone has one and most stink. But anyway i will keep my point clear, Toei most likely doesnt even care on what people think about this movie and atleast not until they realize that their sales werent able to reach the same heights as what BoG did. If they realize that, they will take a different direction in the next movie similar to battle of gods. and HOPEFULLY! Toriyama(George Lucas 2.0) wont be involved in it.

Are you just not listening to what you don't wanna hear? Resurrection F is going to make more money than Battle of Gods. The only thing Toei will realise is that they made the right decisions this time around.

This movie will have more than doubled amount of theaters screening it? check! This movie made less than the opening of BoG? check! This movie failed to catch its attention to any new fans, as it was made for more hardcore nerdy dragon ball fanbase. check!

[Bullza]

It doesn't have double the amount of theatres, it's double the amount of screens.The film opened to ¥960 million and Battle of Gods opened to ¥684 million so no BoG did not open to more.

Oh, that's easy. Redline actually has animation and not moving paper cut outs.

But that statement is founded on the assumption that paper cut-outs are inferior to full animation, a comparison which has likewise not been proven. If someone said that the cut-out animation was amazing, how would you prove him wrong? See the problem here? From an objective standpoint, ANY aesthetic statement is built on a foundation of sand, because beneath each opinion is an assumption about what constitutes quality, and that assumption is based on... more opinion. When two different assumptions clash, we have no device by which to judge between them except... our opinions, which brings us right back to square one.

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.

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

So you want to get movies that are generic and play it safe on every level ? like the original 13 did ?

Your first example is a viable opinion, yes. However, temperature and hardness can be measured and proven, so no: those aren't opinions.

If people want to call something that is hot, cold. They can because in their opinion that is cold. You can't tell that somebody that he is wrong because opinions.

7 Day Week Day Actuals

Friday - ¥59 million ($500,000)

Total - ¥1.357 billion ($11.4 million)

Admissions - 1.01 million

So straight off the bat the actuals came in at higher than the estimates, about ¥90 million more so that's always a good thing. This means it never actually fell behind BoG either as it's very slightly in front after 7 days.

Edit: It also made more than both Conan and Fast 7 on Friday too.

BoG's advantage ends here though so expect RoF to start pulling back in front from this point onwards.

Bullza, thank you for this thread and the updates! I hope FnF make 35-40 million! BOG made 31 million, right? So, after 7 days, FnF is at 11.4 million...where was BOG at the same point? Go FnF!

[FortuneSSJ]

Yeah Bullza that you so much for keep us informed. I would never bother to google for this information daily.
Can you tell us which site you're using to get this info?!

[Lord Beerus]

This is great news to hear. Dragon Ball is still a force to reckoned with in the box office.

Looks like Toriyama's involvement really played a key factor.

[Bullza]

BOG made 31 million, right?

I think it was more like $30 million, the exchange rate makes it a little awkward but that's what Box Office Mojo has it at.

So, after 7 days, FnF is at 11.4 million...where was BOG at the same point? Go FnF!

It was at about $13.8 million after 7 days. Even though RoF is in front slightly in terms of Yen, in dollars it's behind because it doesn't compare as well to the dollar as when BoG came out.

Back then $1 was about ¥95-100 but then ¥120. In the long run it'll still most likely pass it in dollars too.

Can you tell us which site you're using to get this info?!

It's multiple places really. I'm mainly using the WOKJ and BoxOffice.com forums where two people are posting the estimates and actuals from other sites, I think sites like Eiga and Cinema Today Japan.

The estimates being made come from this

http://mimorin2014.blog.fc2.com

In the top right corner you'll see a bunch of numbers besides a movie. That number represents the ticket sales across the main theatre chains that make up about 40% of all theatres in Japan.

It updates every 20 minutes and you see the figure rise and then it resets each day.

Last Saturday that figure hit 154,000 and with Sunday 290,000. It ended up making ¥960 million so what would be good is if that figure can reach 150,000 this weekend because it could mean that a ¥500 million second weekend figure is possible.

[FortuneSSJ]

Thank you so much.

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.

Except in this case that's wrong because Freeza is 100% an objectively better character than Broly.

Really? How will you prove your hypothesis? Using the subjective criteria for what makes a character batter than another? The only thing that that proves is that your criteria and opinion is different from another person that reaches another conclusion.

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.

I'm quite glad Resurrection F seems to be doing well.

[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!

But... I liked Revenge of the Sith.
