Its on 360 too... just via netflix. Also it makes me now if DB:E had gotten more commericals and better marketing; that it would have done better. Don't get wrong its horrible, but if more casual fans knew if it when it came out, it would have at least gotten a decent showing before word of mouth did its damage. At least I hope they recoop their loses with DVDs and Download sales. All Hollywood cares for is sales figures so decent figures will help future anime projects. |

Eh? Where on Netflix? Because they only have movies that are at least a year old for instant viewing, or maybe I'm not using it properly. I wanna watch it so I can laugh. I never found the original series amusing in the least bit, but this looks like comedic gold to me. |

Actually, no damage was done unfortunately. :< The movie had an even smaller budget than it was actually reported... They made money...enough for a sequel. |

LOL. Not accounting for their gross lack of good taste, I really do feel sorry for those Playstation Network addicts......
Popular phrases like, "We could sell ice to an Eskimo  ", are always coined by people like Sony Entertainment when they speak about consumers like the Playstation Fandom. LOL.
Seriously, though, DB Evolution........??? Looks like it's the same situation with movies as it is with games on the PS Network.... the PS fanboys wouldn't know a horrible, AVOID AT ALL COST, movie if it bit them in the butt-cheek........ l.o.l. |

Have you ever considered the fact that maybe, just maybe there a lot of curious people out there who want to see how bad Fox screwed up Dragonball: Evolution and see for themselves to have a good laugh at how horrible it is? |

There never were any real loses. The movie had a budget between $45-$50 million (contrary to the 2007 report that suggested a $100 million dollar budget), and grossed just under $58 million. It didn't exactly have a heavy marketing push either, so that couldn't have cost much. All the money they make off of DVD/Blu-Ray, PSN, and rentals are just gravy at this point. |

Do the people that are buying DB:E by download know that they gave 20th Century Fox enough money for a shittier sequel? |

Man, I saw that movie in the theatres and it was pretty good. You can't compare it to the source material, but on it's own, it was fun and enjoyable.
Heck, I'm also kind of happy that a sequel might be in the works. I'm interested to see where they'll go with it and how they get there. |

When I looked at the director's credits at IMDb & saw he directed 3 Final Destinations, I couldn't believe they not only made it to 3, but we have another coming around I'm seeing commercials for now. Not to mention all those straight to dvd titles one sees. DB:E is actually pretty good if one steps totally away from the source material. Yeah, I can't see why they couldn't have filmed Dragonball as it appears in Toriyama's version, although even the anime saw fit to change stuff & we all saw what Toei did left to their own devices on the movies & DB:GT. Actually it's interesting how much they took from the manga for DB:E yet managed to be so very different I was totally blown away at Comic-con to see all the movies Hollywood is re-making. They have no ideas left? |

Yeah, it just like people wanted to see The Room, even though it claimed to be one of the worst movies of all time. I guess that people needed to see how a POS movie can be if it's claim to be...sort of like a "guilty pleasure" to watch it. Hell, I would too if it was claimed to be one of the worse, I'll make a good chuckle or two. |

Actually, DB:E is a box-office bomb domestically.
So even thought the foreign markets helped DB:E in the long run, the pitiful domestic take actually makes it officially a Box-Office Bomb. |

It's just with Americans when we see a live action movie of an anime it's almost like just watching it to just giggle on how lame it is and then there is all of those other kinds of people in America who just don't have any hopes for the movie being good so not even going to bother with it. But honestly I never even seen a advertisement for DB: E even once. |
