Actually, there's a very good chance it'll be a flop.
The problem with the show was that it straddled the line between a kid's show and an action show for older kids/adults. The first Dragonball (which this movie is based on) was a kid's show. Dragonball Z was more for older kids.
This movie will likely have the same problem and even if not, who will go? Kids or adults? How could anyone know what to expect? Will adults not see it because it'll likely be to silly (for kids) or will kids not go because it'll be too serious (for adults)?
The story is way to far fetched to be seen by anyone other than an original Dragonball fan. I can't see your average person watching a Dragonball trailer (no matter how great it looks) and wanting to go spend money to see it in a theater. Only someone who's already a fan will fork out the cash to go and find out if it'll be a hit or a miss.
