I just got back from seeing it. I don't know if it's the adrenalin talking, but It might be my favorite Dragon Ball film.

I hope they end Demon Slayer as an anime TV show. The movie route gave them money, but it's unfair that we had to wait 8 months for it to come to my country, and given the wait for Jujutsu Kaisen O, I think another movie will take the same time in coming out elsewhre after Japan. If the idea is make it a 3-part movie thing, then might as well should just stick to the TV show. |

a few factors that need to be highlighted here...
1. Ticket prices in America are literally doubled now compared to even just 4 years ago. they've been going up a ton every year or so. this obviously means breaking profit records is easier 2. more screens than most other anime movies 3. Opening at #1 wasn't so hard to do this week because basically nothing else came out. I couldn't even find any major releases for the week except for Dragon Ball so it's a cool accomplishment but there are A LOT of things in favor of making this happen aside from the movie itself edit: Biggest other movie was apparently Beast which I've never even heard of until now so they must've not had a great ad campaign, and also the reviews have been outright terrible lol |

I saw the film on Friday, I thought my local cinema was going to show it as a regular film but was pleasantly surprised that they gave it an UHD Dolby showing, as that's usually for major blockbuster films.
spoiler[ I did enjoy it but I did felt that Gohan's "ultimate beast" transformation was rather un-earned especially since they gave him the "Ultra Instict" glow. I could see Gohan going SS2/SS3, given his lack of training & how he was pretty much placed in the background for years. Also yeah, most Super Saiyan transformations have been linked to rage/emotion, but Gohan couldn't have gotten that huge power boost that quick. Piccolo's new transformation was extremely well deserved as he constantly trained. ] |

Our big group literally occupied 2 long rows of the theater room
The Great Saiyaman 1 & 2 should've fought the new androids A lot of people appreciated the increased humor ala the original Dragonball, even the butt-service.......... and hoping a Broly vs. Beerus matchup for the next movie because...... y'know

Bigonanime: I think they genuinely expected Beast to be a hit, a mini Jurassic, and were shocked that the anime film won. Maybe, because Super Hero underperformed in Japan, but they get that kind of thing all the time, while it's a treat for every other fan.

Its had a full release in the UK, previously anime films have only ever been shown for one/two days but both subbed and dubbed versions of this film have a wide release with multiple showings a day for at least a full week. Also heavily trailing Film Red so I think we may see similar for One Piece.

Pacific Rim, Hobbs & Shaw, The Jungle Book, Zootopia, (debatably) 28 Weeks Later. |

Blues: Pacific Rim barely made money. Other films you mentioned are still supporting roles at best.

True but you don’t make a sequel to a movie that barely made money or spin-offs.
If that’s the metric you want to measure by then your mentioning of Thor and even Sonic 2 makes no sense in relation to you point. As he was not the lead in either film. |

Blues: They wanna make sequels to R.I.P.D. and 47 Ronin, which means they're outta ideas. And the point is Elba's never been in a hit movie in which he was the lead.

True. He's a good actor but unfortunately he's no box office magnet. |

https://www.boxofficemojo.com/month/?ref_=bo_nb_hm_secondarytab https://www.boxofficemojo.com/chart/release_top_opn_wkd_in_month/?in_occasion=august&ref_=bo_csw_ac The date for Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero was chosen with how bad late August is in mind. It was going to be the only draw for the next few weeks, especially around Labor Day weekend which is always one of the lowest-grossing weekends of the year. Similarly, Dragon Ball Super: Broly opened in January for similar reasons. Anime fans will come out whenever, and when there's no competition, that's very benificial. |
