Box office in U.S.A, first week

[Radamantis]

I said DBE will be between number 5 to 8 in the first week.

What is your prediction?

 

[The Kid]

Put me down for number 1. I think people are underestimating this movie. I guess it depends on who you roll with and all that, but I'm going to guess a lot of people are prepared to have a fun time at this movie come april 10. I'll be seeing it at New Roc in Yonkers. Look out for a sexy guy with a mets cap on who looks like an indian guy but I'm really a mutt. I don't know since I just work at JFK with a bunch of old guys who don't give a crap about young people stuff, so I'm kind of out of touch myself with the kids these days.. heh. But yeah... there ya go, numba 1 baby.

 

[Lobo]

8-10, I could have also voted 5-8, I think it will be #8.

 

[xwolverine2]

im guessing 4 or 5th

 

[enterthemadness]

8-10th place. I will see the movie Friday if it comes out here.

 

[Cartman Blues]

#2 maybe #1 if it can beat that Miley Cyrus woman.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

It will be no better than 4th (Hannah Montana, Fast and the Furious, Observe and Report have those spots locked up). Hard to say where it will end up after that, but I can't see it doing much worse than 8th.

But quite honestly for a franchise like Dragon Ball, anything less than the #1 slot is terrible.

 

[BLACK-SPIDEY]

okay

popular franchise loved by millions, which means:

Kids taking parents=more tickets

supporters, haters who dont want dragonball to flop(yes there are some)

people who are "WTF is dragonball?" they are curious and go see it.

comes out on friday, guy taking his friends on friday night.

i say 1, 2 or 3

This...not so much.

 

[JP]

Top 5.

 

[Project862006]

all they need is like 20 million and they have made there profit back already lol movie cost 45million and overseas is already at 23million

 

[Da-Scribe]

Actually they need over 110 million more to make the profit back. 50% of the profit goes back to the movie theaters I believe. That statistic might be off, but film have to make 3x the budget to make an actual profit.

It should make back it's budget and then maybe some with dvd sales/rentals added into the mix. Although Studios hardly get any of the rentals, I think.

 

[lb2009]

All early box office tracking has it around $6 million for opening weekend. So it will probably miss the top 5. There is no way it will be number 1. It is just not happening.

 

[Deaths Head II]

I put it at below 10, but its probably going to be somewhere between 5-10. If this reaches number 1, my mind will explode.

 

[Ipodman]

Im sure it will put up a fight with F&F4, but i doubt these two will be able to compete with Hannah Montana

 

[Dark Helmet]

If this movie makes the top five then no doubt that it will be below Hannah Montana & the reunited Vin Diesel & Paul Walker. I can definitely see Fast & Furious having at least one more good weekend with the good word of mouth its getting

 

[lb2009]

If it got into the top 5 it would be below Hannah Montana, Fast and Furious and Monster Vs Aliens...so at most this will be number 4.

 

[TLH]

5th, with about $8-11 million. Fast and Furious, MvA, Hannah, and Observe and Report should all be above it.

so iron man had to make 450 millions domestic to get a sequel?

 

[DorkyFresh]

so iron man had to make 450 millions domestic to get a sequel?

no, it had to make $420 million. doesn't matter where it comes from as long as they made around 3 times the budget back. it made much more than that (world wide) so that's why the sequel is already being made.

 

[dark_b]

i think domestic matters the most and since it made 300 it was enough for a sequel.

 

[DorkyFresh]

domestic definitely matters the most, but i don't think the movie companies really care where the money comes from as long as it makes triple the budget back. the only reason why the US is such an important factor to the box office is because we're the country goes to the theaters the most.

No way will get even close to the number one spot. Sure if it came out when the show was on it wouldv'e had a hige opening. Now it'll leave without people knowing it came out till they see it on Netflix.

Number 1 will be Hanna Montanna, for all the young girls so all the parents will be to busy to see Dragonball. Fast and Furious will come in 2nd with Observe and Report in third. Those two movies will be filled with people who grew up watching DragonBall, but who are now old enough to see much better movies.

DragonBall like FOXs other movies they don't care about telling people are at theaters( Street Fighter, 12 Rounds) will open up around 6th if its lucky or 8th place. With either a $10 million or $5.5 million dollar opening.

Most people I know who grew up this show don't even know theres a movie coming out, and only a handful do know will all of them not wanting to see it. Expect for one person who wants to see how bad it really is. Me I'm not going to bother seeing it.
