Yea that number is going to end up higher and sure those numbers will be front loaded but it's just a testament to how well they are leveraging the popularity of Super.
I'm not sure what the budget was, but I wouldn't be shocked if it makes money overall. And I believe it already succeeded in it's primary purpose. It's has pushed merch and content very well.

cue Pikachu and Psyduck walking out of the ocean in slo-mo
I had to go to different theater than one I go to because the one I go to didn't have reserved seating and the wheelchair accessible seats were right in front of the screen. They gotta realize DB can make the big bucks.
I wonder just how frontloaded that Dragonball number is, because of the franchise and the way it's being screened (i.e. one day engagements for IMAX and the like) it definitely is going to be frontloaded. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.
Not to take away from its performance, but it's in 1260 theatres which isn't super limited (it actually counts as a wide release).
I hope some suit is looking at these numbers and asking why havent we made a live action version of this
Oh they did and it sucked lmaoo.
Personally I feel pulling off a live action DB will be very hard. Mainly because of the fans.
Don't you dare erase the excellency that is Dragon Ball Evolution!
they don't need to do a live action version. just make sure every new, animated movie looks at least as good as this one (aka extremely beautiful and expensive looking) and treat it like an actual big deal, not some weird limited release for nerds.
spider-verse level budget and attention is the ideal scenario.
there's a larger fanbase worldwide for Dragon Ball than most media properties so it would be cool if they stopped treating it like some niche thing.
that being said, if detective pikachu is successful I could see a new live action dragon ball being greenlit. because if they can make pikachu and jigglypuff and mr mime work in live action, they probably ain't worried about making goku and vegeta's hair work in live action.
when it comes to action scenes... the blueprint is out there:

I bet they don't remember that. That was 10 years ago.
I'd be surprised if the people that worked on that movie remember it.
If Avatar The Last Airbender can get a major live action reboot after 10 years, so can Dragon Ball.
Happy Death Day 2U release date moved up a day to 2/13 to avoid releasing on the anniversary of Parkland which, uh...woof. Glad they caught that in time.

I do agree if they go live action. The gifs you posted need to be the template.
Bumblebee holding much better than I thought in China and domestically; should finish around $450M WW - amazing. I think we'll get news of a new entry in the Transformers Universe on Feb 5th when Viacom announces their quarterly results.
This is ignorant.
The popularity of this movie is straight up consequence of the weekly Super series existing.
Toei has pushed DB in all merch fronts and this train ain't stopping the new series will be a juggernaut.
I mean the actual theatrical release of this, which is basically seeing how the previous movies did well so they're gonna keep ramping it up
I should ban anime from the box office thread
Yea but I think they mean having it on like 3k screens. But you have to take into account that theaters have to take into account how much they run this and make money. Lets be real. After this week everything will drop off because it's so frontloaded.
What they need to do in the future is start promoting more than they have been outside of the fandom.
So we're going to live in a world where of the big 4 Dec releases, Mary Poppins may be at the bottom of the global total?

One of the dads reached out on Twitter. Good move by Universal.
You can see the path DBZ went on too, market wise:
Battle of Gods did like 3 mil OW here
Resurrection did 4 in 2 days
Broly did 7 in 1
It's an important territory so they'll roll with Japan/Latin America/US as their key spots, and these 5-10 million dollar animes will make like 60-70 mil
It's like when Sherlock's Abominable Bride got released in theaters overseas and made like 40 mil in Asia

2 cinemas in my town... 26 screens in total... open from roughly 10am to midnight... and broly only has one single showing next wednesday at 7:30pm
so over one week, that's roughly 1 single showing from 910 possible slots
the film sold out in like 72 hours as well
so tell me again why it's so limited???

yeah that random jennifer lopez movie has 4 screenings at my local theatre today throughout the entire day
broly has one sold out screening at 7pm
I suppose it technically counts as a "wide release" but it sure as fuck isn't as wide as every other normal movie

Yes :) Pretty amazing feat - outgrossed both Spiderman (albeit an animated release) and Mary Poppins, who would've thought.
Oh almost forgot
and Peter Jackson's Mortal Engines!!!!!
