But all of the movies that have grossed over 1bn don't have that

Very funny, anon.

Only 25 or so movies have hit $1 billion and most of them are sequels to successful franchises.

The only way a shitty ass Chinese cartoon could hit nearly that is literally memes.

it needs to be based on a franchise thats popular world wide, Dragonball z would probably be the best bet.

>Not rely on anime tropes (I like your name but it did have some to fall back on)
>Disney handled dub with A list actors
>Disney tier marketing campaign
>Wide theatrical release in a holiday season
even then it wouldn't be guaranteed to make that much

Dragonball isn't poplar with those who have money.

>>160013082
a few more years of mainstream acceptance and westernization

>>160013082
America nuked and the japs to the rescue that way Hollywood will stop cockblocking anime in theaters.

People are generally put off by anime art style so I don't think an anime will ever get pass $1B.

g-y s-x

- Proper dubs
- Proper marketing
- Proper release
- Proper narrative (easy to follow narrative, no japanese weird shit, no otaku pandering)
- Being a sequel to something well-received

More meme magic.

Should we build a site that objectively rates dub quality? (Including acting skills and acting chops?)

It had the perfect story.

A boy falls in love with a girl.
Unable to confess, he is gifted by a deus ex machina with the girl's phone number. Never minding the strange area code, he immediately calls her, and is overjoyed to find out that she has a crush on him as well.
But, the next day, when he recounts the previous day's confessions to the girl, she only looks at him with a perplexed expression. After some investigation, he finds out that the girl he called is not the same girl he fell in love with. In fact, she doesn't exist in this universe at all. She is the girl's alternate universe counterpart, who has fallen in love with the MC's own AU self, who too is blissfully unaware of her crush.
Hijinks ensue as the two strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private secrets in order to equip the other with the weapons they need to conquer the heart of their other selves. While the two chase their respective loved ones, DRAMA ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of LOVE.

Just get the folks at Disney to do them and put some effort into it, bonus points if they get famous people to do the characters.
