Dragon Ball movies box office: the modern films compared
Four modern Dragon Ball films have worldwide figures on The Numbers. Broly leads, and the older films have no equally clean public data.
Published: 2026-10-13. Updated: 2026-10-13.
Short answer: The Numbers lists four modern Dragon Ball films with worldwide grosses in US dollars: Dragon Ball Super: Broly at $122.7 million, Super Hero at $97.2 million, Resurrection 'F' at $58.4 million, and Battle of Gods at $41.4 million. Box Office Mojo lists Super Hero lower, at $86.6 million, so trackers do not agree. The older Dragon Ball films have no figures in the sources we checked.
Dragon Ball films with a sourced gross
The Numbers' Dragon Ball franchise page lists four films released since 2013, with a worldwide box office and a domestic box office. In The Numbers' usage, domestic means the United States and Canada.
Dragon Ball Super: Broly leads the table. Super Hero follows it, ahead of the two Dragon Ball Z releases from 2013 and 2015. Each film has its own guide for Broly and Super Hero, so this page focuses on the franchise picture.
Worldwide and US-and-Canada gross in US dollars, as listed on The Numbers' Dragon Ball franchise page, checked October 2026.| Film | Release | Worldwide gross | US and Canada gross |
|---|
| Dragon Ball Super: Broly | Dec 14, 2018 | $122.7M | $30.4M |

Trackers disagree on Super Hero
Box Office Mojo lists Super Hero at $86.6 million worldwide, including $38.1 million domestic and $18.5 million in Japan, against $97.2 million worldwide on The Numbers. The domestic figures also differ: $38.1 million on Box Office Mojo and $32.1 million on The Numbers.
We do not know which tracker is closer to final totals. When quoting Super Hero, name the tracker.
What the table leaves out
Dragon Ball films from before 2013 are not listed on The Numbers' franchise page, and we did not source figures for them elsewhere. These are worldwide theatrical grosses, not studio or production-committee revenue, and they are not adjusted for inflation.
Dragon Ball's wider commercial weight sits in other lines, including the manga, games and merchandise. See the manga sales and rights guides for those.
What is missing from the public record
Quote each Dragon Ball figure with its tracker name, since the trackers do not always agree.
Where public evidence stops: We have no sourced Japan yen totals for these films and no figures for the pre-2013 Dragon Ball movies. Only the Super Hero Japan figure ($18.5 million on Box Office Mojo) was seen on a tracker page. Missing rows mean unverified, not zero.
