In Japan, Battle of the Gods was being screened in 328 theaters; including 16 IMAX theaters. The IMAX tickets in total contributed $450,000 to the earnings of the film, while all other screens brought in about $28,000 per theater. In total, Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods, brought in over $7 million US dollars.

Movies that were produced in America and beat out the newest Dragon Ball Z flick were Oz the Great and Powerful, Jack the Giant Slayer, The Croods and G.I. Joe: Retaliation. G.I. Joe took the top spot grossing over $132 million worldwide. Paramount is already on its way to developing a third film because of the success of Retaliation.

It’s good to see the love for Dragon Ball Z has stayed so strong. So if you’ve got time this upcoming weekend, try to check out Dragon Ball Z:  Battle of the Gods, and maybe even G.I. Joe: Retaliation!
