Previously it was reported that Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods would be screened in France, but recently listings have been spotted in other French-speaking territories curiously on the same date.
Luxembourg and Belgium will both be receiving screenings of the movie on March 8, 2025.
Fans in both territories would be familiar with Dragon Ball from the broadcasts on Club RTL and MCM in 1995-1996 and the late 90s respectively.
Previously we reported that Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods would be screening in Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Slovakia, the UK, Poland and Germany.
Now screenings have been spotted in Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Latvia, Portugal, Serbia and Sweden.

With these new additions the number of territories Battle of Gods is being screened in stands at 23, meaning in Europe the movie is getting a wide release throughout the continent.
No screenings outside Europe have been announced, although in 2023 a similar 2-day run of the extended cut of the movie was shown in North America.
The 2013 Dragon Ball Z movie Battle of Gods is about to get a brief theatrical re-release around Europe, but another exciting prospect is that of at least one new dub being produced.
That prospect emerged the other day when ADR director Dariusz Kosmowski said on Facebook he would dub Battle of Gods if his post got 2,000 likes by February 7, 2025.
Dariusz Kosmowski was the director for the Polish dubs of Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball Kai, which premiered on Polsat Games in 2018 and 2023 respectively.
Battle of Gods will be screening in Poland on March 15, 2025, a whole two weeks after its release date in many other European territories.
The previously announced screening of Dragon Ball Z movie 14 Battle of Gods has now expanded to various European countries.
Fans on the Kanzenshuu forums such as TheRed259 and sangofe have noted screenings taking place in territories both east and north of the continent.
The first countries to be getting this limited screening of the 2013 movie by TOEI Animation are Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway and Slovakia on March 1, 2015.
One UK listing has also been spotted for both March 1st and 2nd, 2025.
France will be getting the movie a week after most of these countries on March 8th.
A week after that comes Poland, and although we have been told privately Studio PDK creates Polish subs for the distributor Piece of Magic Entertainment, and have been requesting them to order a dub we have not been able to double source this information, so for now it’s best to take it with a grain of salt.
The final territory for this new theatrical run is Germany, which opens on March 18th with further screenings that weekend on March 22nd and 23rd and includes dub screenings.
This is great news, as many of these countries have never received Battle of Gods in theatres and will provide fans with another chance to catch the first movie of Dragon Ball’s revival era on the big screen.
As we reported previously the Dutch distributor Piece of Magic Entertainment will be screening the 14th Dragon Ball Z movie and first of the revival era Battle of Gods in select European countries.
Now it seems that the movie will be returning to screens in France where it was only shown briefly in the past.
Paris-based media firm AlloCiné have reported Battle of Gods will be returning to French screens on March 8th and 9th 2025.
While the movie did not get a wide theatrical release in France, it was shown on at least two occasions at the Grand Rex, once with sequel Resurrection F, and again with both Resurrection F and Broly.
Dragon Ball has long been a cultural phenomenon in France, and there’s no doubt there will be much excitement for these screenings.
The Dragon Ball Z movie Battle of Gods is set to make a brief return to European screens on March 1, 2025.
According to the boxofficenl.net it will be the extended cut, which runs at an hour and 25 minutes.
The movie only received limited screenings in some European territories like Spain and Italy during its original theatrical run, in addition to exclusive screenings at Nom-Con in Ireland and Scotland Loves Anime the same year.
Piece of Magic Entertainment have screened various concert films and cult films in Europe.
