So this is going to pass $6 million and possibly Resurrection F total within the week?

 

Someone mentioned $10 million but how feasible is that?

Yup, Resurrection of F is going to be passed at least in lc. 

 

Very possible, Resurrection of F opened in the middle of a very crowded summer and managed a 1.8x multi, for this one those legs would be enough for that.

Resurrection F made M$93 million right? How many tickets did it sell?

2,207,758.

[Purple Minion]

$28.6M for the SeaMaster, 575M lc give or take.

 

Bumblebee up to $11M and Creed 2 crossed $5M.

$6.5M OW for Broly, massive 120M lc. 20% higher than F's entire run, 40% higher than Ralph 2.

So when you said it might do that by Monday...it's actually done even better than that?

Soon, James Wan is joining the Russo bros. as the only directors to gross over $2B lc. Wan is going to be the only that manages it with titles of more than one franchise.

That's a lot of money for a Japanese anime movie isn't it?

 

A lot of Hollywood blockbusters would be happy to make that kind of money. That's what Mission Impossible 6 made.

Yeah, actually anime overall is really something here in Mexico but DB is by far the most popular franchise and the fanbase isn't affected by generational change (unlike fanbases for western sagas like SW or ST) but even grows for new generations.

 

Eastern products are very profitable for distributors and exhibitors, look for other anime releases and K-Pop concerts shown at theatres.

The Russo have CA2, CW and AIW. For Wan, is it FF7, FF8 besides AQM?

FF7 ($779M)

Aquaman ($600M)

Conjuring 1 & 2 ($630M)

Insidious 1 & 2 ($90M)

 

EDIT. Actually it has already surpassed the milestone. Didn't looked up Insidious numbers before.

So is likely to be more or less frontloaded than Resurrection F? It's supposed to be a better movie but opened much higher.

Is just a guess, $12M to $13M. Battle of Gods and Resurrection of F had bigger competition so Broly could go either way and be more front-loaded or hold a bit better.

[Purple Minion]

2.3M tickets sold for Broly.

576.7M for Aquaman.

JANUARY 11-13 WEEKEND. DRAGON BALL SUPER: BROLY TOPS THE CHART OUTGROSSING PREVIOUS DB ENTRIES. SECOND ACT DOES FINE AND AQUAMAN PASSES AVATAR AS IT JOINS TOP 20 ALL-TIME.

 

Dragon Ball Super: Broly

- Highest opening in January beating Spongebob's opening four years ago. First January release to open over $100M.

- 32% ahead of Resurrection of F’s lifetime gross and over double of Battle of the Gods entire run. The former had a 1.8x multi and the later a 1.5x; this puts Broly somewhere between $9M-$11M, the best result for an anime in the country.

 

Second Act

- Nearly double of Hitman’s Bodyguard opening and over Game Night entire gross. Unfortunately next weekend faces two crowd-pleaser releases: A Dog’s Way Home and The Upside.

 

Aquaman

- This weekend surpassed Avatar and now is part of the 20 highest grossing movies ever. Still on track to beat Iron Man 3 and install in the 19^th spot and 7^th among SH releases only behind three Avengers, Incredibles 2, Civil War and Batman v Superman.
