Dragon Ball Z, distributed throughout Latin America by Telefilms, is already an impressive success in theaters. As of mid-October, the film has already accumulated 1,314,400 admissions in Mexico, 374,099 in Argentina and 424,544 in Peru.
The background to this is that due to the overwhelming demand from the millions of Dragon Ball fans throughout Latin America, the major movie theater chains made the decision to pre-sell the opening midnight and first weekend screenings and fans responded to the call en masse. During its first weekend alone, 900,000 people invaded Mexican theaters and more than 200,000 did so in Peru and also in Argentina.
