Spring Festival, the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Thanks to the vigorous promotion by Qitian Company, the Tom and Jerry New Year movie once again achieved a great start. Despite the advance screenings a week earlier, it still grossed a whopping 81 million yuan on its opening day, far surpassing other films in the Spring Festival season.
It is evident that the Tom and Jerry movie, released during the preview screenings, has garnered widespread acclaim and attracted an even larger audience.
This figure has already surpassed the opening day box office of last year's "Year of the Rabbit". After all, times are changing and the market economy is growing. There are also more theaters showing the film than last year, so it is not surprising that this result has been achieved.
The happiest person at this moment is none other than Wang Ming. The box office on the first day is enough to prove his directing ability. It is almost a certainty that the final figure will exceed one billion. As for whether it can surpass the box office record of the Year of the Rabbit, we will have to see if he can continue to exert his strength.
The second place goes to Xu Zheng's "Lost in Thailand," which was the top-grossing domestic film of 2012, but is now being overshadowed by an all-ages animated feature film.
However, it is unclear whether Qitian Animation opened up the domestic film market in advance, which led to the fact that the opening day box office of the movie Lost in Thailand far exceeded that of its predecessor, exceeding 50 million.
The entire film industry sent congratulatory messages, and DiliDili even placed the promotional poster for the Year of the Dragon movie on its homepage. The app also changed its splash screen animation and directly connected to the online ticketing system of cinemas, greatly enhancing the box office growth.
If users purchase through D-site, they also enjoy discounts. Sometimes, just for a dollar or two, users are willing to switch to another platform.
This series of actions not only greatly increased the number of users, but also indirectly boosted D-site's revenue, achieving two goals at once.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the box office exceeded 400 million yuan.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the box office exceeded 500 million yuan.
By the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the box office had already surpassed the 1 billion yuan mark, which was two days faster than last year. Of course, this is due to the inclusion of the box office from preview screenings. So, in general, the two preview screenings are currently neck and neck.
At this juncture, the official Qitian Animation team also released a poster. Last year's rabbit sends its congratulations to this year's dragon baby. There are a total of eighteen steps, with each step representing 100 million yuan in box office revenue. The two are joining hands to reach even greater heights.
However, with half of the film's run now over, while the daily screening share remains high, the occupancy rate is much lower, and the new box office revenue is only between 15 million and 20 million yuan.
However, as time goes by, the attendance rate will naturally decrease, and Avatar's record has been broken by the Year of the Rabbit, so it can no longer play the patriotism card.
If this trend continues, the final box office prediction for the Year of the Dragon movie is estimated to be around 1.3 billion yuan.
The final result was largely in line with the predictions. On February 29, 2012, the movie "Year of the Dragon" ended its run. Including the advance screenings, it was shown for a total of 40 days and ultimately achieved an excellent box office result of 1.51 billion yuan.
Although it failed to break the record for good fortune in the Year of the Rabbit, it is still the second highest-grossing domestic film in history, making it a very successful commercial film during the Spring Festival season.
After deducting the profits from each party's share and taxes, Qitian Animation, as the producer, naturally made a fortune.
The IP value of Tom and Jerry has reached a new level, which has also boosted sales of new peripheral products, resulting in a very high profit.
Jiang Xia kept his word and gave Wang Ming 1% of the final box office revenue of the Year of the Dragon movie, successfully earning 15 million yuan.
"Not bad, not bad. Keep up the good work with this result. We've only produced two movies in the Zodiac series so far, and there are still ten more big movies waiting for you, Director Wang. I'll give you a 1% raise every year from now on. I have high hopes for you."
Jiang Xia patted Wang Ming on the shoulder with a smile. At first, he only helped him draw the original drawings, but later he started to learn storyboarding from him. After more than two years, he finally handed in a perfect answer sheet.
Jiang Xia was extremely gratified to witness his good brother's growth and become his right-hand man.
Wang Ming was naturally happy to accept this request. Not only was there a generous share of the profits, but he also loved the Tom and Jerry cartoon. More importantly, he was still young; even if he continued to draw Tom and Jerry for another ten years, he would only be thirty years old.
If Jiang Xia is the father of Tom and Jerry, then let him, as the adoptive father, carry on and promote it!
Spread the Tom and Jerry IP all over the world!
On May 20th, Slam Dunk, which had been running for two years and three months, finally came to an end. Tsinghua University, represented by Duanmu Huadao, successfully won the national championship, and Duanmu Huadao and Liu Chuanfeng were selected as the two most talented players for the national team.
However, Duanmu Huadao was injured in the last match of the national competition and needed to fully recover before he could participate in the national team's training camp. Qingzi took the initiative to take care of his daily life.
During a very intimate moment of care, the usually straightforward and forthright Duanmu shyly turned his head away and stammered, "Qingzi, I really love basketball, I really, really love it."
"I know~" Haruko didn't look at him, but continued to focus on massaging his firm back muscles, while a gentle smile appeared on her face.
"I... I actually started liking basketball because Haruko likes it." Duanmu blushed, glancing at the ever-gentle Haruko out of the corner of his eye, his subtle expression revealing his nervousness.
Haruko's hands froze for a moment, then she quickly regained her composure and smiled gently, "I knew you were a genius all along, Duanmu. Get well soon, I'm still waiting for your outstanding performance in the national team."
