The overseas release time of "Nuwa Mending the Sky" is close to a month, and there is basically not much room for growth at the box office.

In South Korea, the hottest movie in 2014 is the "anti-Japanese blockbuster" "Mingliang Naval Battle".

The movie was quite popular in South Korea, breaking the record set by "Avatar" in 18 days, and finally won the crowd with nearly 18 million viewers.

About a third of South Korea, with a population of only 50 million, went to see the film, including the president at the time.

But fortunately, this movie will be released in South Korea on July 30, just like the mainland market, and it will also be on December 12, so "Nuwa Mends the Sky" really doesn't have much box office space. No matter how awesome the special effects are, they can't do YY!

In the same schedule, it competed with "Nuwa Mending the Sky" on December 17 "International Market", which was released in another time and space with 14.25 million viewers in two months, ranking second in Korean film history.

The film is known as the Korean version of "Forrest Gump", which tells the story of the life between the protagonist and his family and friends who experienced major historical events such as the Korean War and the American-Vietnamese War.

Although "International Market" has a good box office reputation, it still can't stop "Nuwa Mending the Sky" from being released in South Korea. First, the difference between the schedules of the two movies is 13 days, and they did not collide during the box office harvest period.

In addition, the two films have different types and audiences, "Nuwa Mends the Sky" is a typical special effects blockbuster, similar to Hollywood superhero movies, and shocking disaster scenes.

In addition, many Korean people have great "love" for Chinese historical and mythological figures, so that "Nuwa Mends the Sky" has won the treatment of "local film" in South Korea.

The cumulative box office has reached 14 million people in the 30 days since its release, although it can't compare to "The Battle of Mingliang", but it is no problem to surpass "International Market" when the film is drawn. The box office, when converted into dollars, is about 83 million.

Riben, the special effects scenes of "Nuwa Mending the Sky" have received unanimous praise, but the "happy reunion" ending at the end of the story has always been criticized by the audience. In their opinion, if Nuwa could vomit blood and die after successfully mending the heavens, and be remembered and worshiped by the world, the story would be perfect.

As a result, the box office lagged behind the 12.9 billion yen of "Hou Yi Shooting Sun", and only won 11.3 billion, about 104 million US dollars.

Southeast Asia, which should be regarded as the better place where "Nuwa Mends the Sky" sells, except for Thailand, the rest of the countries are basically the backyard of Hollywood movies.

The special effects scenes of "Nuwa Mending the Sky" are more shocking than many Hollywood blockbusters, and it is adapted from Chinese mythological stories.

The region as a whole reported a total of US$37 million, outperforming its predecessor.

In the European and Australian markets, the market performance of "Nuwa Mending the Sky" is relatively average, and the box office has increased and decreased compared with "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun", and the overall addition is not much different, which is considered to be flat.

The North American market in 2014 was a year of sluggish box office. The total box office revenue was $10.65 billion, down 4% from 2013.

None of the top 10 films in the year exceeded $400 million, and "Guardians of the Galaxy" won with $330 million. "League of Legends: Company of Soldiers", which was released in the summer, finally won the third place with a score of 270 million US dollars, surpassing "Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier".

As for "Nuwa Mending the Sky", which was only released on December 4, it received $210 million in the North American market before January 1, 15, ranking ninth in 14 years.

So far, the top 10 films in the North American film market in 2014 are "Guardians of the Galaxy", "The Hunger Games 3", "League of Legends: Company of Heroes", "Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier", "The Lego Movie", "Transformers 4", "Maleficent", "X-Men: Days of Future Reversal", "Nuwa Mends the Sky" and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes: Dawn of the War"

Among them, Disney and Warner have released three works each, 20th Century Fox has two films, and Lionsgate and Paramount have one each.

Without Dragonlin's work, Warner would have had only one "The Lego Movie" in the top 10, which was the envy of several other companies.

What is even more difficult for Hollywood's six major companies to accept is that as of December 31, 2014. The global annual box office champion is the $1.31 billion "League of Legends: Company of Heroes". "Change 4", which also performed well, was only $1.087 billion by the end of 14 years.

The global box office crown was actually won by a foreign film, which made Hollywood filmmakers, who have always felt that "Lao Tzu is the best in the world", have a sense of crisis for the first time.

Although many media in North America wrote articles claiming that the big movie "League of Legends: Company of Soldiers" can achieve such a box office, thanks to the popularity of the game developed by Riot in the United States all over the world, the "Chinese kid" is just standing on the shoulders of giants.

However, the 2014 global annual box office champion was finally won by Chinese films. Many Hollywood filmmakers are deeply ashamed and regard Warner as a "traitor"!

"Warner's help with Dragon Pictures' global sales will sooner or later shake the dominance of Hollywood films in the global market!" said a vice president of Disney Pictures angrily at the annual meeting.

Other companies such as Paramount, 20th Century Fox, Sony, etc., have the same attitude.

In terms of media, The Hollywood Reporter: Thanks to Warner, China's Longlin Pictures earned a total of $480 million in the North American market in 2014, accounting for 4.5% of the total annual box office, and ranked third and ninth among the top 10 films of the year....... ”

"Philadelphia Investigator": Chinese films share the cake strongly, and Warner leads the wolf into the room......"

"Full Movie" is even more explicit: 2014 is a year of shame for all Hollywood filmmakers, and all studio executives should take the blame and resign (and that is a rhythm). The global annual box office champion has always been the "plaything" in the hands of the six major Hollywood companies, passed between several companies, and now it is won by a Chinese entertainment movie, which will greatly shake the dominance of Hollywood films in the global market......"

On various forums, some indignant young people in the United States frantically shouted, "Warner is the sinner of America, Richard Fox get out of Hollywood......"

At the same time, Warner's side is happily holding its annual meeting. Although Warner's films produced and released this year were not good, fortunately, the box office of "Company of Soldiers" and "Nuwa Mending the Sky", which were distributed by the agency, exploded.

In addition to Warner's generous agency distribution fees, most of the revenue from DVD discs and cable TV on demand also goes into their pockets. There are not many people who can refuse to take many risks and get stable and expensive returns.

As for the criticism from the media and netizens, the people at Warner just laughed. It's ridiculous to talk about feelings with capitalists! You don't have to think about it to know that if they don't distribute Longlin Pictures' works as an agent, other companies will be able to break their heads!
