Who owns the movie rights to the newer Dragon Ball movies

And I dont mean Toei or Funimation. In Latin America its Fox. But some think its Sony who has the rights now.

That one's a little complicated. See, FUNimation partnered with Fox to distribute Battle of Gods and Resurrection F, because Fox allegedly still has film distribution rights to the franchise, or at least it did at the time.


However Sony now owns FUNimation, the company with franchise rights and royalties.
I could see them doing a joint partnership to release Dragon Ball Super: The Movie.

Hope this helps.
