Following heavy pre-release promotion in the region, it premiered at No. 1 in China, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong and Singapore. The China opening tally, $3.4 million from 855 locales, was Fox’s fourth-highest weekend opening in the market. “Dragonball’s” No. 2 Japan bow produced $3.3 million from 540 screens.

Dragonball: Evolution is the number one film in Korea, though the actual numbers have yet to come in. DBMB will have the full box office report, including the full international box office totals for Dragonball: Evolution, when the numbers become avaiable.

“Dragonball: Evolution,” the Hollywood adaptation of the internationally loved comic, topped the South Korean box office during its opening weekend after its world premiere here March 12, according to 20th Century Fox Korea.
