Chapter 412 "The Man Without a Surname" Global Box Office

The mainland box office of "No Surname" was 1.69 million yuan, while "Kung Fu" finally had a box office of 1.73 million yuan. The difference between the two is less than 400 million yuan!

But it was this gap that caused Chen Hao to miss out on the mainland box office champion of the year after defeating Feng Dapao and Guoshi!

As for Master Xing's debut in the mainland, he directly defeated three of the four major directors in the mainland, which can be said to have reached the sky in one step!
Let countless mainland movie fans and the industry see the strong box office appeal and director talent of Master Xing in the mainland!

At the same time, the box office competition between "Man Without a Surname" and "Kung Fu" is not only reflected in the mainland, but also in the world.

"Man Without a Surname" was released in 56 countries and regions around the world, while "Kung Fu" was released in 55 countries, but if you add that it will be released in North America in April, then the global release scale of the two films is exactly the same.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or intentional, but the global distributors of both are Sony Columbia!

Moreover, Sony Columbia is also the main investor of "Kung Fu"!
At the same time, Chen Hao also got the news that Sony Columbia directly arranged 2503 theaters for the North American premiere of "Kung Fu", directly surpassing the 2100 theaters of "No Surname", refreshing the number of theaters for the North American premiere/screening of Chinese-language movies record!
From this news, Chen Hao always felt that he was being targeted. Maybe Sony Columbia saw that he was disobedient, and wanted to support Master Xing to check and balance himself, so that he could behave better!
Regardless of whether this is the case or not, Chen Hao will only say, ha ha!
Regardless of what Sony Columbia thinks, Master Xing's "Kung Fu" is indeed a strong global box office, especially in Asia!
In addition to the mainland's 1.73 million yuan, or about 2100 million US dollars.

"Kung Fu" broke the box office record of 6073 million Hong Kong dollars held by "Shaolin Soccer", which was also held by the star master, in Hong Kong, and finally hit 6128 million Hong Kong dollars, or about 810 million US dollars!
In Taiwan, the box office of "Kung Fu" successfully broke through 2 million, reaching NT$2.54 million, or about US$650 million!
In South Korea, the number of viewers of "Kung Fu" exceeded 96, ranking Chinese-language movies at No. 4 in the list of viewers in South Korea, equivalent to about 600 million US dollars!
In Japan, "Kung Fu" achieved a box office score of 17 billion yen, ranking 10th on the Japanese box office list of Chinese-language movies, or about 1650 million US dollars!
All other regions add up to about $4500 million. Excluding North America, "Kung Fu" has a global box office of $1.03 million at this time!
And the box office of "No Surname" in the mainland is 1.69 million yuan, or about 2050 million U.S. dollars!
In Hong Kong, the box office of "No Surname" is far inferior to that of "Kung Fu". It only won 1580 million Hong Kong dollars, which happened to be ranked 2004th in Hong Kong's 10 annual box office list!
And this is already the best result of a mainland film in Hong Kong this year, not only that, this result even ranks second among all mainland films in Hong Kong box office!

The first place is "Hero" by Guoshi, with a box office of 1 million Hong Kong dollars in Xiangjiang!
No matter in the previous life or in this life, the box office of mainland movies is extremely dismal in Xiangjiang, Baodao, and South Korea!
Even if the mainland film market rose strongly later, it could only be a big hit in the mainland. Once it went outside the mainland, the results were not even as good as ten years ago!
Chinese-language movies are really getting weaker and weaker overseas. It is not an exaggeration to say that the civil war is an expert, and the foreign war is an amateur!

Let's just say that "Wolf Warrior 2" finally ranked in the top 100 of the global box office list, but it was almost entirely supported by the box office in the mainland, and the box office outside the mainland was basically negligible!

On the one hand, the mainland box office is growing explosively every year, on the other hand, the overseas influence of Chinese-language films is constantly declining. It is really hard to describe!

The box office of "Man Without a Surname" in Xiangjiang was 1580 million Hong Kong dollars, or about 210 million U.S. dollars. This is also the best result of a film directed by Chen Hao in Xiangjiang!
And in Baodao, the box office of "Man Without a Surname" was NT$6000 million, or about US$153 million!
This is also the reason why many of Chen Hao's previous films were screened in Taiwan. In addition, he became famous in North America and won an Oscar statuette.

And Baodao is a dumping ground for Hollywood movies, so Chen Hao is well-known in Baodao, but mainland movies are indeed not very popular in Baodao.

Chen Hao's best box office performance in Taiwan came from "Taken", which earned NT$9800 million!

However, apart from Huaying's investment, "Taken" is basically a Hollywood movie!

In South Korea, "Man Without a Surname" had 50 viewers, with a box office of about 315 million US dollars, ranking third in the box office of Chinese-language movies released in South Korea in 2004!
Of course, in 2004, only 7 Chinese-language films were screened in South Korea. The highest was "House of Flying Daggers" with 141 million viewers, followed by "Kung Fu" with 96 viewers!
Although the number of viewers of "No Surname" is only 50, it is already the sixth place in the number of viewers of Chinese-language movies in South Korea, and it is also the best box office result of Chen Hao's personal film in South Korea.

The box office of Chen Hao's film in South Korea is not high, but if it is only compared with Chinese films, it is considered good.

Because Chen Hao's Virgo "Comet" won the New Wave Award in South Korea, it can be said that it has some relationship with South Korea, and in addition to becoming famous in North America, South Korea has also studied whether Chen Hao is from South Korea.

In the island country, "Man Without a Surname" has won a total of 8 million box office, ranking 27th in the box office list of Chinese-language movies in the island country!
排在1988年《飞龙猛将》的7.9亿日元之前，位列1998年《荆轲刺秦》的8.2亿之后，约合485万美元！
In the North American film market, "Man With No Surname" is still in theaters, and the current box office has reached 5200 million US dollars. However, with the arrival of the Oscars, the box office of "Man With No Surname" is likely to fluctuate again.

With a box office of US$5200 million, it ranks No. 4 on the box office list of foreign language films in North America, second only to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Life is Beautiful" and "Heroes"!
Speaking of which, in the box office rankings of foreign language films in North America, Chinese films accounted for three of the top five, four of the top ten, and two each from Italy, France and Mexico!
In the Asian film market, "Man Without a Surname" has a total box office of 3213 million US dollars, which is far inferior to "Kung Fu"!
But in the European and South American film markets, "Man Without a Name" won a total box office of 5000 million US dollars, surpassing "Kung Fu"!
Therefore, the global box office of "No Surname" should be 1.34 million US dollars for the time being!
This result created Chen Hao's personal best Chinese film box office global record, and it is also Chen Hao's third highest global box office, second only to "The Hangover" with $4.5 million (still in theaters), and "The Ninth District". "'s $2.52 million!
And "Kung Fu" has a global box office of 1.03 million US dollars except for North America, which has not yet been released!
Unless the North American box office of "Kung Fu" can exceed 3100 million US dollars, or in the global box office, "No Surname" will beat "Kung Fu"!
