You ain't even fucking lying. I can finally see the fucking movie tomorrow because the theater near me actaully is going to have showings that arent late in the afternoon and evening. This movie probably could have done far better at the box office that its doing simply because you can't see it when you want to or where you want to.
And if that's the case, then Hollywood has learned nothing and continues on its course to refuse to learn. People who like or love DB don't want or even care about a fucking live-action DB. DB Super Broly is EXACTLY what that audience wants and a live action take on it is completely unnecessary.

It's probably got another $30 million or so left in the US, so it will be close on that front, but it's still on the table.
My theater literally tripled the amount of screenings of Broly from when I checked a week ago
God damn
God damn
I don't get how these idiots, not after seeing the thirst of the first few days, not just say "Fuck it, go wide release!"
Like...son. SON!
I think its going to come down to Japan. Most big, but not Avengers level huge, superhero movies do $15 - $20M. If Aquaman's CGI is enough to pull in casuals and it gets closer to $30M it could sneak past Civil War.
It would be kinda incredibly of Aquaman did that. Like the only other origin movie that's higher is BP and that's some lightning in the bottle cultural phenomena looking at its Domestic v Worldwide split.
Opinions. Why not go watch it and see for yourself? I read some of the reviews and while most were negative, I still enjoyed the movie. These critics want masterpieces nowadays.
I fear that some Hollywood exec is looking at the top 3 and currently demanding a live action Broly movie... directed by Shyamalan.
I was checking the long term Tracking and I simply don't see Captain Marvel doing that much. 160 M in opening ? 465 M lifetime ? No way !
But now after the ridiculous numbers Venom and Aquaman did, why not...

Movies are really expensive here that I'd rather go watch something I might enjoy. This isn't a case of 50/50 reviews, the overwhelming majority of feedback I read/heard was negative. I'll just rent it when it becomes available instead.
A breakaway is a breakaway. How you get there is bunch of different factors. Wonder Woman had great legs as the first female-led superhero film of the modern era. Infinity War was half the culmination of the MCU. Jumanji was great counter-programming for The Last Jedi. Aquaman did nearly $300 million in China, which was as absurd as when Venom did it two months earlier to land at $855 million worldwide. Black Panther was important to to African-American viewers, but still did $646 million international (nearly $200 million less than Aquaman in China, mind you.)
We just enjoy the ride. And try to figure out the "how" so we can vaguely predict future movies.
I agree, my comment was more tongue in cheek as you often here on these boards or on the English speaking web how some movies only do well that is to China as some sort of derogatory thing. BPs extraordinary success is also very much tied to one territory.
You might have missed Dragon Ball's steady return to glory since 2013's "Battle of the Gods"
After it wasn't in my local AMC ALL weekend. It's now back this Monday and for the rest of the week it seems.
Not this time. Pixar can't keep up with that chalaheadchala.
In less than 2 months actually:
the only code left to crack is saiyan hair in live action
Man of Steel is 50% DBZ fight homage. Snyder would be a great fight choreographer, but his grimdark bullshit needs to stay FAR from Goku.
This was one of the (many) problems with Dragonball Evolution, and Goku's characterization had a lot to do with it.
A live-action DB movie done well could be dope as hell, and it's not like they couldn't take liberties with the adaptation, but turning Goku into this moody, whiny Peter Parker dork already started that movie on the wrong foot.
The Washowskis could absolutely pull it off. Well, except for maybe the hair.
But they have a sense of humor, unlike Snyder. Sadly one of them retired from filmmaking and I doubt the other one will have access to a blockbuster budget any time soon.
He would nail angsty Vegeta though! That character was made for him.
Vegeta and Nappa: First Class directed by Zack Snyder. Let's go.
While other Anime movies can be seen at or coming soon to my cinemas in Sweden, Broly will not be one of them.
Must be because no sub version.
If because no dud, then it just stupid

Dragon Ball: Evolution is what got Toriyama to go and write Battle of Gods, it's for the best that we never get another live-action adaption of Dragon Ball.
Shame on you all for even suggesting one that skips directly to the Saiyan Saga because you view the entirety of Dragon Ball before Raditz as an optional comedy prequel when it's clearly not.

Well that's how FUNimation has treated it, and the vast majority of American fans didn't even have the option to watch pre-Raditz Dragon Ball until many years after the fact. It just doesn't have the same nostalgic appeal for most people. If a live action Dragon Ball film ever has a chance of finding an audience, or success, it has to start in the Saiyan saga. It's like if Star Wars began with Phantom Menace instead of New Hope. Would have been dead in the water.
