Resurrection F Box Office - $64.8 million Worldwide

[Bullza]

And here's some post weekend estimates.

Weekend Estimate - ¥60 million ($500,000)

Total - ¥3.530 billion ($29.5 million)

It'll probably be about a day or so before we see how it does in Hong Kong. Looks like Box Mojo didn't update it's foreign figures this week so I have no idea what it's done in Malaysia though it did fall out of the Top 10.

I don't think it'll be able to reach 4 billion but hopefully it can reach 5.6-5.7

As a fan of DBZ I'm very happy with the level of success that RoF has been able to obtain, unlike BoG this film has had sooo many other great movies realeased at the same time, its amazing that its still in the top 10 after 6 weeks!!!!! 29.5 is a Amazing, Great job to all those involved with this film

We now have actuals and they match the estimates. Not sure on the weekend gross though yet.

Total - ¥3.53 billion ($29.5 million)

Additionally it's Monday gross was almost as good as the Monday from 2 weeks ago because there was no school so a little bonus there. It's looking to end at ¥3.65-3.7 billion.

It's made $1.85 million in Taiwan and is unlikely to make much more if at all actually.

Still waiting for Hong Kong's latest figures to be put up. No update on Box Mojo to say how it's done in Malaysia either.

So all accounted for it's grossed $31.48 million minus the currently lacking numbers.

ROF did amazing well in Taiwan. Especially if you compare it to the numbers that BOG did in other countries. This can only be a good omen for when ROF hits the South American countries.

[Bullza]

Well this is why I'm interested to see how it's done in Hong Kong. There is no Box Office data in Taiwan or Malaysia for Battle of Gods to compare to but we do have data on Hong Kong so it'll be the first overseas apples to apples comparison.

I don't expect it'll make much money there either way but it'd be a good sign if it were to make more.

All the numbers are slowing down now to a crawl but it should see a sizable boost in the latter half of June.

Then it won't be long until the US release.

[Basaku]

Proper US release would easily give it $20m. I really hope FUNimation steps it up this time, it's just money left on the table otherwise

How many more weeks will Fukkatsu No F be in Japan theatres? 1?

[Bullza]

Thank ScholarGohan for this find but according to the distributor of the film in Hong Kong it broke 1 million (I believe in Hong Kong dollars) in it's first 5 days.

Thats $129,000 in US. Battle of Gods made $85,000 in 4 days and made $179,000 total after 31 days so it would appear that it is going to improve on it there. Still waiting for actual figures though on the charts.

I was also able to find out that that the movie had made $207,000 in Malaysia as of the 17th.

It'll be in theatres for more than 1 week but whether it has a wide release after 1 week I'm not sure. It's out of the Top 10 now which generally means it will lose most of its theatres.

Resurrection F seems to outperforming on all fronts. This is really glad to hear.

[FortuneSSJ]

500 million left to reach the goal?!
Toei should just leave the movie on theaters until reach the 4 billions. No matter how long it takes.

[Basaku]

Western studios will not just do that but often even go as far as 'fudging' the numbers to get pretty round totals (like The Dark Knight's 1 billion with double-counted Puerto Rico gross lol)

[Bullza]

Now the US release date has been announced I thought I'd recap the upcoming release dates.

June 18 - Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico

June 19 - Mexico, Ecuador
June 25 - Argentina, Bolivia, Uruguay
June 26 - Colombia, Venezuela
August 4 - USA
November 5 - Spain

So it's really gonna pick up from the middle of June, some big markets each week and there could potentially be more following US.

Again Funimation are advertising the movie for a 9 day straight release whereas they only advertised Battle of Gods for 4 days and not straight. This seems like a good sign for it and it should help it to make more money if all being well it has a high theatre count too, hopefully higher actually.

Maybe this time around it could go for $4 million maybe even $5 million.

they're definitely doing a much better job of pushing this movie than with Battle of Gods.

That fear is less likely partially BECAUSE the ratings system is a 'self policing' system which gets the government off their back.

And remember, the group that gives out the ratings is not a third party. The MPAA is a trade association specifically setup to advance the goals of the six major studios. Part of that is keeping the government off their back about content (whether the ratings are correct or not is a entirely different argument.) It doesn't behoove them to fight a system they themselves helped build as a wall against the government getting involved (there being a big difference in this case between a proper release and specialty events that at most get a handful of screenings aimed at a specific audience, and very often get ONE screening.)

In general the only times the ratings system really gets called out is one of four things:
1- Director disagrees with a rating his film has gotten
2- A generic argument over how appropriate violence is over sexuality
3- Someone making a movie ABOUT the MPAA
4- Harvey Weinstein wants some free advertising and press

It's best to think of the ratings as they actually are. They aren't a big legal thing. It's a voluntary system used to keep the government and people who tend to complain to the government off the industry's back. And when you consider you have to pay to get a rating... it just didn't matter for the plan they had for BoG. Whether it will for Resurrection F... I can't really say (there are some reasons to get a rating even if you don't plan a wide theatrical release, but that's a completely different set of arguments and discussions.) Hope this helped explain the logic to you a bit.

I realize I'm WAY late to respond to this, but I missed it back when it was posted and only just now discovered it. What I was trying to say is that unlike back in the 30s and 60s, I don't think the movie industry would have to worry about government regulation should the rating system fall into disuse like the Hays Code did. People now are a lot less willing to accept the American government deciding what they can and can't watch, thanks to all the nasty shit that's gone down between 1968 and now.

You can now add Philippines to that list.

[Bullza]

Thanks for the head up. Battle of Gods only made $22,000 there but hopefully we see another increase.

Here's hoping it gets a China release because that market is huge now but I wouldn't hold my breathe. Haven't heard anything about a South Korea release yet and that was one of the first counties to get the last movie.

[Lord Beerus]

Here's hoping it gets a China release because that market is huge now but I wouldn't hold my breathe.

I'm really hoping that Dragon Ball gets release in China too. Because with the market exploding due to immense interest from western movies, and Dragon Ball, which is a well known homage to Journey Of The West, which is insanely popular in China, could really benefit from a release in China.

[Bullza]

Dragon Ball Evolution made almost as much in China as it did in Japan and that was back before the market tremendously expanded. Now there's Hollywood films that make more more money there than in US.

Not saying that RoF would make more in China than in Japan but it'd more than likely be it's second biggest market and add several million to the total.

In other news RoF will still be having a wide release going into it's seventh weekend unlike BoG.

Huh. Didn't expect it to make to the seventh weekend and still have a wide release. I guess there's more money to be made.

[Bullza]

According to this link (I wouldn't bother clicking on it it's not in English).

http://www.hkfilmblog.com/archives/42837

The movie is expected to break HK$1.5 million by Sunday which is $193,000 US. That means by it's second weekend it would have surpassed the full total of $179,000 that Battle of Gods made after it's fifth weekend.

As for Japan, I'd estimate it did ¥25 million between Monday to Friday.
