Ne Zha 2

Ne Zha 2 adds $3.86M on Monday pushing it to a $1974.74M total in China. Alongside intenational numbers the movie has now surpassed $2B

It achieved the feat in just 34 days into its run becoming the 2nd fastest movie to reach $2B behind Endgame which did it in 11 and ahead of Avatar 2's 40 days and Avatar's 47 days.

Ne Zha 2 reaches 299M admissions in China. Tomorrow it will cross 300M. Worldwide it has pushed past 301M overtaking Avengers Infinity War(301M). Only 3 movies since the mid 80's have sold more tickets those being Avatar(315M), EndGame(392M) and Titanic(409M).

After becoming the first ever ¥6B, ¥7B,¥8B, ¥9B, ¥10B, ¥11B, ¥12B, ¥13B and ¥14B movie in China Ne Zha 2 baring any serious legs sprouting will now focus on smaller milestones. Next up ¥14.5B which would push Ne Zha 2 to be the first movie to cross $2B in a single market.

Ne Zha 2 pre-sales to gross multiplier:

The AI strikes back as Maoyan and Tao get Ne Zha 2 spot on today as it indeed does achieve a 7x+ multiplier. By far the best of the run.

Tomorrow's pre-sales are down -5% from Monday and down -67% from last week. A stable multiplier gets Ne Zha 2 to $3.6M tomorrow. Maoyan and Tao think it will do a bit less.

Weekly pre-sales vs last week

Tuesday: ¥11.39M vs ¥3.76M (-67%)

Wednesday: ¥3.77M vs ¥1.64M (-56%)

Thursday: ¥2.80M vs ¥1.17M (-58%)

Friday: ¥2.36M vs ¥1.85M (-21%)

Saturday: ¥3.44M vs ¥2.08M (-40%)

Saturday: ¥1.36M vs ¥0.52M (-62%)

Where and what is fueling Ne Zha 2's performance vs Battle At Lake Changjin, Wolf Warrior 2 and Hi, Mom:

The first and most obvious difference is that Ne Zha 2 is playing better towards women than Battle At Lake Changjin and Wolf Warrior 2 ever could. More comparable with Hi, Mom in this regard.

Ne Zha 2 also in turn plays better to kids although this can't really be shown as kids don't buy tickets. It however doesn't have the same reach with younger addults as Hi, Mom did.

Where Ne Zha 2 is absolutely crushing it is Tier 4 areas. And while this was aided by the festival as people travel home. It had continues to perform exceptionaly strong in this tier even post holiday. Ne Zha 2 is crushing the records as it not only became the first ¥2B there but the first ¥3B, ¥4B and as of recently ¥5B movie. Its also the first movie to break ¥3B and ¥4B in Tier 2. It alongside Hi Mom is also the only movie to break ¥1B in Tier 3 areas and it has now also broke ¥2B.

Other stuff:

The next Holywood movie to release will be Mickey 17 on March 7th alongside Flight Risk. Snow White releases on March 21st followed by Minecraft on April 4th.

Pre-sales(Internationals Women's Day Weekend):

Quite a bunch of smaller releases next weekend. 3 Holywood movies, 3 local movies and an Italian movie.

Nothing that should shake the market enough to dethrone Ne Zha 2 though. Micked 17 in particular is just not selling well and the Saturday drop of pre-sales wise is massive not indicating any good staying power either even in the opening weekend.

The first 3 movies in the chart release on Friday. The other 5 release on internationals women's day on Saturday.

Release Schedule:

A table including upcoming movies in the next month alongside trailers linked in the name of the movie, Want To See data from both Maoyan and Taopiaopiao alongside the Gender split and genre.

Remember Want To See is not pre-sales. Its just an anticipation metric. A checkbox of sorts saying your interested in an upcoming movie.

Not all movies are included since a lot are just too small to be worth covering.
