Resurrection F Box Office - $64.8 million Worldwide

[Bullza]

Yes actually.

Weekend Estimates - ¥103 million ($0.86 million)

Total Estimate: ¥3.44 billion ($28.8 million)

According to the estimates given that's only a 18% drop from last weekend and it's first good drop. If the estimate holds then it's not going to need much more for the movie to surpass BoG's Japan gross in dollars too which was about $29-30 million.

How much do you think it'll reach based on these numbers ?

[Bullza]

It depends on how long it has left in wide release. If it's like Battle of Gods it has one more week then it's going to lose almost all of it's theatres and most of it's money.

If the same happens with this then it might be able to claw it's way to ¥3.6 billion.

If it's able to have a longer run in wider release (and there's no reason why it couldn't) then maybe ¥3.7 billion.

Toei set a goal of ¥4 billion for it so perhaps they'll push it as much as it'll go so will have that longer run this time.

I wonder what being further away from the goal means for future DBZ movies. Even smaller budgets?

DB is an international franchise so they're going to look at all the numbers when the decide how to move foreword and keep in mind it making 3.5-3.6 is really good so they'll be happy when it's run in Japan is over.

That's only the box office,don't forget about the $$$ they'll be making off of it's home release and what they're making now from toys and video games.

In terms of the budget I think it'll either be the same or a bit more which more then enough for an animated movie.

[Bullza]

I can't imagine it not reaching it's goal will have much of an effect.

While ¥300-400 million away from their goal might seem like a lot, in dollars it's only $2.5-3.3 million.

If the movie only cost $5 million and it's going to make like $30 million in Japan alone then it makes no sense for them to lower the budget for a sequel especially considering the worldwide total for the movie will possibly be a lot higher this time.

On top of that if another movie comes out in another 2 years then hopefully Dragon Ball Super is still airing and hopefully it's more akin to Z than GT which will reinvigorate the series even further so they might push the next movie even further and it might gross more again because of it.

So really it's gonna largely depend on Super how the next movie is handled rather than this movie.

Yeah, FnF is beating by more than three times the most successful Pretty Cure movie (Precure is huge and its movies never reached 1 billion) and it's showing to be Toei's biggest anime movie not named One Piece ever. Even if we include all OP features, it's 3rd place. So why bother putting money on it, right?
J/k, but i think some people took the "goal" comment way too seriously, without realizing that was just an estimate and how insanely high it was. The fact FnF is so close to it is impressive by itself.

That almost makes me feel sorry for the Saint Seiya fans who believe Legend of Sanctuary was a hit deserving a sequel - which it apparently was, and it grossed "only" U$10 million worldwide.

It means even more movies/DB milking. It dooesn't matter if it falls bit short of projection, it's still pure hot cash for Toei, this movie was done for measly $5m and will make between $50m to $100m worldwide when it's all said and done and that's just theathrical run. If any Toei exec said "it didn't reach 4 billion in Japan so we should make next one cheaper" they should be immediately fired for incompetence

Updated the thread title.

The movie has made ¥3.43 billion in Japan or $28.7 million. It's had about 2.61 million admissions to date which also now tops Battle of Gods total admissions of about 2.4 million.

It's made $1.84 million in Taiwan as of last weekend. It's Malaysia figure hasn't been updated yet.

However it has now definitely passed the $30 million mark. It won't pass the $40 million mark until the mass release in the middle of June.

Comes out in Hong Kong in a couple days. BoG only made $179,000 there so it probably won't make much but it will be interesting to see how it compares and if it makes more there then it might be a good sign for other countries.

It's a shame it didn't reach the $40 million mark that Toei originally set, but it seems like the film is still a success regardless in Japan.

[Bullza]

I'm not sure if you meant ¥4 billion because $40 million would be about ¥4.8 billion.

¥4 billion is about $33 million so it's currently $4.3 million away from that. It's still got a bit to go. The guy who gives the estimates think it's headed for a ¥3.65-3.75 billion finish.

It'd be nice if it could get to $30 million in Japan so it could surpass BoG in dollars in the country.

Yes, sorry, I meant to say ¥4 billion mark instead of $40 million mark. Got my currencies mixed up there for a second.

[Retan]

Hey Bullza how come it says 3.43 billion on the thread title, but your saying it hasn't made that much yet?

[Bullza]

It took me a bit to realise what you were referring to but I get you now.

The $30.67 million figure isn't what ¥3.43 billion is in dollars. That's the worldwide gross so it includes what it's made in Japan, Taiwan and Malaysia.

Likewise the figure in Yen is just for Japan.

I suppose I've made it confusing doing it like that but when it's finished it's run in Japan I'll just have the worldwide dollar amount.

[Anime Forever]

Is there any new updates on how RoF is doing this week?

[Bullza]

No there's been nothing worth pointing out yet. It went out of the Top 10 on Tuesday and Wednesday but then reappeared Thursday. Might not hear anything until after the weekend.

I was hoping Box Mojo would have updated by now but it hasn't so no idea how it's done in Malaysia since.

It came out in Hong Kong yesterday but we won't get any news on that until probably Monday.

Thanks for the info!!!

[Bullza]

We got a little something.

Monday-Friday estimate = ¥40 million ($329,000)

Total - ¥3.47 billion ($29.03 million)

Looks like it will be surpassing Battle of Gods in dollars too then.

That's good to hear. The movie has really slowed down though, but that was to be expected.

[Bullza]

There's some very early weekend estimates, I think going off of Friday's figures and Pre-dales for Saturday so it might not be that accurate but it's probably still worth mentioning.

Weekend Estimate = ¥68 million ($560,000)

Total = ¥3.540 billion ($29.5 million)

Again don't put too much stock into this being that the weekend has only just started but it gives an idea.
