Top Gun: MaverickColin Trevorrow Jurassic World: DominionSam Raimi Doctor Strange in a multiverse of madnessand Kyle Balda Minions: Rise of a puppy. Unfortunately, things have slowed down a bit since the beginning of August – and that opened the door to a mid-month surprise and a funky movie at the box office.
While one might think that a thriller featuring Idris Elba going toe-to-toe with a ferocious lion would be exactly the kind of movie that would hit in late summer, Baltasar Kormacor‘s Monster Its attempt to become the #1 new movie in America failed, as that title now belongs to Tetsuro Kodama’s Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero.

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero sits at the top of the domestic box office chart as anime fans appear in big numbers
Those who have been following the weekend box office results since the beginning of the pandemic will notice Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero It’s the first anime title to hit the top of the domestic chart, but the success of the new movie is arguably part of a trend we’ve seen since last year. It started in April 2021, when Simon McQuoid’s human kombat Tackle some serious competition from Haruo Sotozaki’s Demon Slayer In the second week of its release. The latter film eventually took first place seven days later.
The popularity of Japanese animation made a huge impact on the box office in March. When Seong-Hu Park’s Jujutsu Kisen 0: The Movie It premiered, and didn’t sell enough tickets for Matt Reeves outside of the gross. Batman The third weekend of the superhero movie, but it pushed Robin Fleischer Unknown to third place for the first time, making $18 million in the first three days.
Released by Crunchyroll locally, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero It is the first anime film since the beginning of the pandemic to be released in the United States and Canada and announces its highest-grossing title in its opening weekend. It is estimated that it will not achieve much in the first three days as previously mentioned Demon Slayerwhich made $22.8 million when it was released in April 2021, but the $20.1 million it made was huge, and it was more than enough to secure the film franchise’s position on the chart (per Numbers).
Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero It is the twenty-first feature film in Dragon Ball franchise, and the film’s performance in the US and Canada is beyond what the anime was able to do in Japan (where it launched in June). according to Box Office MojoThe film grossed $18.1 million outside North America.
Exactly how sustainable success will be is a big question mark at the moment. The other anime I mentioned all tend to have opening weekends preloaded, with dedicated fans popping up in the first few days of the movie’s release, then letting the movie fade from the box office ratings. It is unclear whether this will happen with Dragon Ball Super: Super HeroThis is mostly due to the circumstances that have led to the film’s success in the past few days: the lack of much competition.
Beast does about half the work of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero and settles for second
While everyone is behind Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero The movie is likely to celebrate a domestic release this weekend, there’s not much to celebrate about box office earnings Monster. This new creature features a thriller depicting Idris Elba protecting his family from a vengeful lion, and it wasn’t made on a ridiculous budget — $36 million, according to diverse But the movie still has a long way to go before it is considered a financial success after its $11.6 million debut.
Monster It had average ratings in the middle of last week, and that appears to have translated into modest earnings. The total from its first three days on release means it only had the 29th biggest opening weekend of 2022 so far, with the film making less than Robert Eggers. Northman Back in April ($12.3 million) and more than Roland Emmerich gave moon fall Made when released in February ($9.9 million).
In the search for silver linings, there is a bit of good news MonsterBox office numbers are boosted by overseas performance. The film was released in a number of overseas markets earlier this month before its domestic release, and so far that has translated into an additional $10.3 million added to its worldwide totals. So far, the movie has grossed $21.9 million worldwide – but it will need to make a hell of a lot more than that if it is to be seen as a success.
Looking ahead, this coming weekend will end summer 2022 – but will it end with fanfare or grumbling? Everyone behind Jessica M. Thompson the invitation and George Miller Three thousand years of longing They certainly hope for the first, as the pair of titles will arrive in a broad release.
