So the weekend Box Office numbers in the US are in, and as you can see in the photo, Dragonball Super: Broly made quite a good amount of money in its debut. It's also one of only 2 new releases that made the Top 10.
I've been reading a lot of posts of DBS: Broly's performance in Facebook and a lot of them try to make the narrative that it had earned a lot more money than its competing movies, especially animated films. Of course, a simple Google search would reveal that is not the case. What IS certain is that it has surpassed Resurrection F's near $65 million worldwide gross, making DBS: Broly the highest grossing Dragonball film of all time. It is also currently the highest grossing film from Toei, which produces the anime.
What's more interesting is that it is on route to making the $100 million gross mark - something the Dragonball movies have never done before. The last film that earned it was last year's Dectective Conan: Zero The Enforcer sitting at $106 million, while Pokemon: The Movie 2000 is the 10th highest grossing anime of all time with around $134 million. Both Toei and DB fans would be extremely happy if DBS: Broly's BO performance manages to surpass these two movies before the end of its run.
