I thought BOG was rated by the MPAA? My ticket for the movie says rated PG and being rated PG is the right rating for the movie in my opinion. Battle of Gods was not rated by the MPAA. Most theaters use a marker similar to 'NR' for films without ratings. If it was PG then someone put it in their sy...

snip Very interesting. So if there's no legal issues involved, what's to stop, say, Warner Bros from releasing Batman v. Superman without going through the rating system? The thing is a guaranteed success as long as the budget is reasonable, no matter what rating is attached to it. Theaters will sh...

Fun fact: Battle of Gods got a (just barely) wide release in the United States despite not being rated by the MPAA. So what, right? Wrong. That's damn-near unheard of, since most mall-chain theaters are forbidden by the terms of their leases from showing NC-17 or unrated films. That's a gigantic ch...

We should just stick to more solid English Speaking actors. Sure I love him to bits but I know how awkward can be to actually speak in English despite knowing it, it would be very accented and stuff. And this is coming from a fellow Latin American. I have to agree here. Let's keep the nightmare of ...

does anybody think or know or have reason to believe that F will be in theaters for a more standard length of time or will it likely be another very brief special event sort of thing like BoG and only run for a few days? They wouldn't be able to book it for a full run because it wouldn't survive on...

I think it's about time I exit this conversation to have conversations with people who haven't spun into arguing with points they themselves made earlier in the conversation. I could take the mistyping and attempt to put new words into your mouth that were never there rather than just going "Wh...

The original DVDs for the TV specials were 4:3 (Everything DBZ from Funi prior to the Orange Bricks was 4:3.) Edited versions used the 'as tweaked for TV' versions of the dub and never included the subbed versions. The 'Uncut' DVDs included the subbed version and normally made it clear on the packag...

I wouldn't be surprised if Superman IV , despite being a failure, probably still sold more tickets than any DBZ theater release in the US. If you ignore adjusting for inflation (just taking the numbers at face value) Superman 4 did roughly 6x Battle of Gods (Superman 4's gross was about 92% of it's...

No, you apparently want people to infer a different meaning from what you actually wrote. What I wrote was that Superman had a film that bombed, ended up on a couple TV shows while the competition had successful films, then once he got it a film it flopped. That's the meaning behind what I said, yo...

Because that's the question the original post asked.

Except not really. "Except not really" nothing. It's not what I said, it's not what I implied. I didn't say or imply it because I know full well it's not the case. You assume that's what I was saying but I wasn't so you're wrong, it's as simple as that. No, you apparently want people to i...

Except that isn't what you actually said. That's why I said practically. What I didn't say was that during no point between Superman IV and Returns were their any plans to make a Superman movie and that their were none because Superman IV bombed yet somehow you came to that conclusion, which is a f...

All I was practically saying was that Superman IV bombed, the character ended up on the small screen, meanwhile Batman was having successful blockbusters on the big screen, when Superman did get another film in 2006 it flopped. So you're interpretation of what I said was just flat out wrong. Except...

At last count, roughly $50 million around the world, $2.5 million in the USA (if by domestic you meant Japan, $30 million.)

Bullza is simply making the common mistake of "A movie hasn't come out, therefore there was no interest" when anyone who follows film news through the 90s and early 2000s knows that news about new Superman movies was nearly nonstop. Everything you just said was an assumption and an incorr...

That's the one they did last year (bit confusing that they put it up in an article about a different Doraemon film.) It looks rather pleasant to my eyes to be honest.

They talk about Space Heroes since it's the current film, but it's run is already almost over. It's also worth mentioning that as far as I'm aware Space Heroes is just a 'normal' Doraemon film, and I believe based on numbers is actually doing rather low for the franchise as far as the yearly films g...

Batman is significantly more popular than Superman. While Batman was having record breaking blockbuster films Superman had a movie that made chump change so was demoted to TV shows. Which superman movie are you talking about! He isn't quite aware what he's talking about. Attempts at another Superma...

Just to further point out. Like multiple people have clarified from actually reading the Funimation sales catalogs, the numbers given are apparently lifetime merchandise sales from the entire world for Dragon Ball Z (which for the sake of argument we will assume are accurate.) This number is roughly...

Most the marketing you want isn't worth the time or effort for the type of limited run the film will get because in general the audience who is going to see the film will know about it. Certainly there are things they can do, but some of your suggestions (playing with Kai's scheduling, AMC getting '...
