The numbers for Dragon Ball have been astonishing; I really didn't know that there was still such a big audience for it. That Saturday number - with its $10,000+ PTA - is particularly jaw-dropping. It obviously wouldn't perform nearly as well on a per-theater basis in wider release, but I would think that such huge numbers would result in a wider, more aggressive rollout in the future.

 

Actually, i do believe the audience for Dragon Ball has only grown in the last few years. Dragon Ball Super has its critics ofc, but it is defintely one of most popular anime shows in recent years and has attracted a lot of new fans to the series. Add to that that the original fans of the 80s and 90s are still alive and spending money and... well...

 

success.

Hollywood Reporter are saying the same thing.

 

"After opening on Wednesday to a stunning $7 million, the pic is projected to gross $10 million to $12 million for the four-day holiday, including $8.7 million for the three days."

 

Do that and Comscore are sayings its done $8.7 million for the 3 day which is very different from Box Office Mojo and these other Twitter reports saying $10.6 million for the 3 day.

 

Any explanation?

One is preweekend projection and BOM is the weekend estimate as provided by the studio with actual figures. Take a chill pill.

LATimes is also saying Broly opened to fourth with $8.7 million and $19.5 million so far...

No it isn't because that was only said earlier today and Box Office Mojo said this

 

"Looking at a surprise third place position is FUNimation's Dragon Ball Super: Broly, though, as noted in our lede, the studio is not reporting domestic grosses this morning"

Maybe not FUNimation itself, but Sony almost certainly did for them as the distributor

Mary Poppins is a flat out box office disappointment. I don't see how anyone can spin its numbers to argue otherwise. What international markets hasn't it opened in?

Japan and South Korea are the last major markets. Japan is pretty big on musicals, so MPR should be a decent hit over there.

IIRC, Sony Entertainment is the majority owner of FUNimation, but Fox is handling international.

i don't think it is ok comparison, DB has already surpass baahubali 2's total in just 5 days and Broly has 100% saturday's spike

No, I am saying weekend number are in similar range.

Anyways my point was that Brolly might have tickets at $20-30, just like South Indian films. If not that PTA is very very impressive.

Mojo put that $3.3mn using their own estimate. It was never going to be this high.

 

Usually what happens is comScore tracks numbers, Studio adds the unreported numbers from private screenings and report the Friday. Similarly Saturday but weirdly in US they (distributor) estimate the Sunday numbers on Sunday morning itself and report the weekend numbers.

 

Funimation in this case hasn't done any of this, and Mojo can't miss the #3 film of weekend in their charts so they put their estimates for Sunday.

 

Anyways the actual Sunday is tracking for $2.65mn. I won't be surprised to see it holding great on Monday as on Holidays, these events films do big numbers.

 

 

Also, for Dragon Bolly there will be some unreported numbers as well, so actual weekend will be $10mn plus easily if Funimation reports.

So it's going to be down but not by that much? Below Mojo's $10.6 million but above Comscores $9.7 million?

 

That'd be fine considering it'd overperformed as much as it is to begin with.

They fixed the theater count on DBB now. 

 

$8,640 average from 1,233 theaters... very impressive. 

No. It's 467 only. If they did that, it's an error.

Was it because of high occupying rate force them to re-open the theater back on saturday?
