The new Dragon Ball movies (Battle of gods, Resurrection of Freezer, and the
new Dragon Ball Super movie coming in December 2018) have directly involvement
of Akira Toriyama, unlike the original movies which were made by Toei and had
no involvement of Toriyama at all. Are these new Dragon Ball movies canon
unlike the original ones?

Are the new Dragon Ball movies canon?


The _"Battle of Gods"_ and _Ressurection of Freiza"_ were both implemented in
the anime, hence they are obviously canon. However, certain aspects of the
movies have been retconned in the anime for example

  * Beerus utilising **10% of his power** against an SSJ2 enraged Vegeta.
  * SSJG Goku being equal to **70%** of Beerus's Power.
  * More emphasis has been laid on Gohan being weaker in the anime.
  * Piccolo is killed by Freiza in the anime.

The new movie coming out in December is supposed to be set after the end of
the _Tournament of Power_ i.e Dragon Ball Super. We know this based on recent
comments from Akira Toriyama. Hence it is obvious that the new movie might
very likely be canon as well. I've attached a source with regard to the same
