EDIT: US Numbers are a success too with its first day making as much as "Resurrection F"'s entire run.

English Source: https://comicbook.com/anime/2019/01...broly-global-box-office-latin-america-mexico/

Now that Dragon Ball Super: Broly has gone on to great box office success on its initial release in Japan, the box office total for the film is going to increase even further as it begins opening in other territories around the world in 2019.

The first major example of its new wave of box office success comes from Latin and Central America, as Dragon Ball Super: Broly has earned another $20 million overseas this past weekend

Before it opened in Latin and Central America, Dragon Ball Super: Broly was sitting at around $32.2 million worldwide, so this is an impressive update for the film. As noted by Exhibtor Relations Co., the total box office for the film now sits at $54 million in total, with an impressive $6.5 million debut in Mexico alone -- which isn't surprising considering screenings of the final episode of Dragon Ball Super brought in huge crowds there.

Dragon Ball Super: Broly has seen great success outside of Japan too as it stands as the most successful opening for any Japanese film in Brazil, with $1.6 million USD on opening day. This is without even counting in its performance in Japan, as it was the quickest film in the franchise to earn 2 billion yen over the course of 11 days.

Completely deserved. It is a fantastic movie, and probably the best of the entire franchise. Had a blast watching it.

I made the mistake of not buying tix early and whole day was sold out

Broly is still the best DBZ character

Wow. Didn't realize people like it so much. I saw it on New Years and everyone I talked to seemed to agree it was just okay although
1st person fight was cool
. And ridiculously bad music. But whatever, glad it's doing well

That's great hope we can get more movies like this.

Kinda off topic but does this movie have spoilers for dragon ball super anime?

I've never in my life read someone refer to our region as "Latin and Central America". That's completely unnecessary and redundant. "Latin America" is fine, you cover from Mexico to Chile this way. That's like saying "South East Asia and Indonesia".

Nitpicking aside I'm happy for this movie completely deserved and the LatAm dub kicks fucking ass!!!

My bad, it was actually Nagamine, not Sumitomo

In the battle scene, was the director's idea like directing a ring name call, too?
I agree. Since battle music is similar, I tried putting in to change. Toei Animation is not officially recognized, but the end of the "Dragon Ball Super TV series" was publicly viewing in Mexico and so on the right way. It was a feeling of watching a professional wrestling like "Jiren VS Goku". Although this also does not approve Toei animation (laugh), there is a poster of "GIRLEN VS Goku" that I made without permission at the entrance of public viewing. When I was watching such a thing, I thought that I wonder if I should do ring calls. It is something that I had as a story, though it would be done with other works from a long time ago.

Keep in mind that these numbers where achieved despite Latin America being land of the Piracy

A youtube camrip of the Latin American Dub got 6 million views before being taken down

That's impressive too lol

I'm guessing they meant to say South and Central America ;)

I'm really stoked to see this! Probably going to catch it Friday or over the weekend. So glad to hear people are really enjoying this!

Mexico is North America so Central and South would be geographically wrong (unless you're intentionally leaving out Mexico which is not the case here).

Philadelphia here, all the theaters I checked for the next few days of showings are packed. I was lucky to get 2 tickets for tomorrow.

Decades later Dragon Ball is the biggest it's ever been. This has been my favorite franchise since a kid, and it really is the best time to be a fan.

Excited to see it the day after I get back from my holiday and the same day my girlfriend and I move out of our tiny apartment into an actual house!, it's going to be a great reward after a long gruelling day of moving.

she isn't coming with me because she hates Dragonball

Anyone watched it in Imax? Is it actually a better experience?

I saw in IMAX in Japan mostly because it was the best theater/screen selection when it came to audio setup.
The one theater I know of with ATMOS was playing something else on that screen. =/

It didn't really use the IMAX screen real estate to full measure, but it was still worth it because the sound design was great.
The sound was honestly even freaking out my young son at times. Heh.
