Dragon Ball Super: Broly Breaks Dragon Ball’s Japanese Box Office Record!
As you can see above, Exhibition Relations reported how well Dragon Ball Super: Broly is doing over in Japan. The tweet stats – “My brohan! DRAGON BALL SUPER: BROLY debuted exclusively in Japan on 467 screens scoring $8.7M–the largest of the franchise.” Dragon Ball Super: Broly’s opening weekend has ended with it having the highest-grossing Dragon Ball opening to date. They have literally set a record and it really calls for a party.
According to Comicbook.com, they checked up the box office receipts and the record isn’t wrong. Dragon Ball Super: Broly has amassed nearly $9 million in its opening weekend, and that is only in Japan. When Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection of ‘F’ went live in Japan, it earned about $8.1 million during its opening weekend. Just imagine, what will happen when the movie hits US, Canada, UK, Australia and all the other countries? It’s going to be a blast!
Right now, Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’ is the highest grossing movie of the franchise with 64.8 million USD and Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods is at the second position with 52.7 million USD. If Dragon Ball Super: Broly somehow crosses the 133 million USD mark, it can take over Pokémon: The Movie 2000 at the #10 position and enter the Top 10 highest grossing anime films. This is very possible and I am looking forward to it.
