Japan Gets Dragonball in March 2009
According to Variety Japan, Dragonball will premiere in the land of the rising sun a week before the U.S. This is definitely a good thing for Japan (I hope), though maybe not so good for the U.S.
This will unfortunately lead to bootlegs of the film, which is not good for the viewer or the studio since bootlegs are poor in quality and do not deliver the cinematic experience. Not to mention the studio cannot make a sequel without box office success. I urge everyone to watch the film in theaters first.

I think that fair! Its their any way’s! And it’s a little funny that Japan get the movie “7″ days before us!

Yeah but it’ll be hard to resist the bootlegs
not saying that I will but for some, it will…

I bet it comes out March 27th in Japan, a week before US release, that way Japan still gets its jewel and fox minimizes bootlegs. A Whole month just seems absurd.

This isn’t an f-ing video game! I’ve never heard of a company releasing a major motion picture in a single country a month before any others! This is such bullshit!!!

This is f*cked up! D< First they move the release date to April 2009! And now Japan gets to see it before us! I know Dragon Ball was originally from there, but what the f*ck?! Make it come out at the same time, DAMMIT.

You are right this is bad news for US fans, it’s almost like what happens in other countries when the US people get to see Movies a week or so before them and in the case of TV programmes up to a year earlier.
How dare the Japanese treat you like that?

I over react time to time. It’s just I’ve been waiting to see what a new DBZ movie would look like with today’s tech.
But yeah, kind wish it would at least come out before October 2008. *sighs* Damned, Fox.

Not a fat lot of good will premiering in Japan do for Fox. There’s a boycott for this movie going on in Japan, and the movie’s surely going to flop over there.
Of those few in Japan who will actually go to the theatres to see what this movie looks like, I’m sure nearly all of their comments will be about how terrible it is or how their expectations were utterly betrayed, which means no matter how Fox advertises this film over here it will certainly do a lot worse than the other ones screening next April.

You can’t really say that. I mean, it’s possible if will flop, but it’s also possible that it will succeed. We won’t know until we see the movie.

[...] blog site, it could be fake. Please note the March release date is for Japan only, as previously reported. According to a IMDB member, Sour Mikan, here what is written: “Legend becomes reality March [...]
