Although Cinema "Joker" produced by Warner is about to exceed 1 billion US dollars worldwide, it will soon become the only non-Disney, non-Marvel movie with a global box office of 1 billion, but Warner is in the Chinese mainland market. It can only be described as dismal management.
2019 is an out-and-out Warner Year. In this year, there are only two movies released in the mainland, namely "The Lego Movie 2" in March and "Thunder Shazan!" ", the two films have a total of less than 400 million box office results, and Warner's mainland report card in 2019 ranks behind Disney, Universal, Sony, Paramount, and even Fox and Legend. Why does Warner, which has a good North American box office performance, perform so badly in Mainland China? There are two main reasons for
. One is some of the films released by Warner in North America, and it is a legendary accounting project in Mainland China. Here are the two films "Detective Pikachu" and "Godzilla 2: King of the Monsters". The "King Kong vs. Godzilla" and "Dune" released in 2020 will also be such an introduction model. Another reason is that many of the works produced by Warner this year are R-rated movies, whether it is "The Clown's Recall 2" and "Joker", or "The Sandman" which was released in North America last weekend.
However, in addition to the two accounts, Warner still has some different actions in the mainland this year. At the beginning of the year, the film "White Snake: Origin" with the light-tracking animation and filming won 400 million+ box office results, and word-of-mouth box office has a double harvest. In August and November, they cooperated with the Art League respectively, and released two films, "Mule" and "They Are No Longer Growing Old". Recently, Warner Animation's "Scooby Dog" also released its first trailer. Whether it is in North America or the mainland, Warner Animation's position has always been the bottom of the few major animation labels. But in fact, Warner owns the copyrights of countless classic animated characters-Bugs Bunny, Duffy Duck, Tridi Bird, Pig Brother, etc. However, since the appearance of these animated characters has not been effectively developed in recent years, it has been at a low ebb. Although Warner Animation finally has a decent work since "The Lego Movie" became a hit in 2014, the film has not been introduced to the mainland. The 2017 Lego Batman Movie and this year's Lego Movie 2 did not achieve good box office results in the Mainland due to cultural differences. And "Scooby Dog" is a anthropomorphic Great Dane. In 1969, it launched the first animation "Scooby Dog, Where Are You!" "In 2002, a live-action movie was released, and sequels were released in the following years. The nonsensical comedy style is loved by movie fans. The English title of this restarted cartoon "Scooby" is determined to be "S.C.O.O.B.", which will be the pioneering work of the Warner Animation Universe.
In addition to this work, next year Warner will also have superheroes such as "Birds of Prey and Harley Quinn", "Wonder Woman 2", Nolan "Creed" and live-action+CG "Cat and Mouse". The Pound Project meets with us, and whether it can compete with the world for the second largest box office in Hollywood in 2020, let us wait and see.
Box office forecast on November 12: 53.2 million
