Anime fans love to argue about hypothetical \u201cwho would win in a fight?\u201d battles involving the characters from Dragon Ball <\/em>(Goku vs. Superman, Vegeta vs. Harry Potter, Krillin vs. any regular person, and now we’ve got another confirmed victory for the record books: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero<\/em><\/span>the latest movie in the Dragon Ball <\/em>saga, nearly doubled the box office take of the Idris Elba-starring beast<\/em><\/span> <\/em>this weekend. This was the debut for both movies (at least in the US), with Super Hero <\/em>making $20 million and beast <\/em>making $11 million.<\/p>\n

To be clear: We’re not talking ridiculous numbers here, as neither movie did unbelievably well, but Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero<\/em>‘s success\u2014and the success of other anime movies getting limited theatrical runs these days<\/span>\u2014speaks to a change in the domestic box office and a greater appetite for things that might’ve been deemed \u201ctoo niche\u201d or whatever in the pre-pandemic days.<\/p>\n

The rest of the top 10 (really the rest of the top 11) is in the exact same order as last week<\/span>, with all 10 movies making over a million dollars and therefore doing\u2026 okay. (Things in general are still down from where they were earlier this summer.) Top Gun: Maverick <\/em>seems to have permanently slowed down again, sitting at a total gross of $683 million after 13 weeks, which means it probably will fall short of cracking $700 and taking Black Panther<\/em>‘s place on the list of top grosses of all time. But hey, sixth place is good! It made more money than three Avengers <\/em>movies and 10 Star Wars <\/em>movies (counting Rogue One <\/em>and Solo<\/em>). <\/p>\n

The only high-profile newcomer on the list that doesn’t involve Idris Elba or Piccolo is Orphan: First Kill<\/em><\/span>, which opened in 12th place with $1.6 million. It should go higher next week, since it only opened in 500 or so theaters, but that’s assuming people are still interested in seeing an adult woman who looks like a kid doing some murders. <\/p>\n

Here’s the full top 10 list (from Box Office Mojo<\/em><\/span>) for people who want to see last week’s list with two extra movies.<\/p>\n
