Let’s take a look at the major newspapers. All the critics on it are praising the praises of "Flying Houses", such as "the warmest movie of the century", "a life documentary that transcends animation", "the most connotational animated movie", etc., which are filled with the critics’ comments.

However, "Guibi Pigs" is not so lucky. Compared with the other two competitors in the same period, they really can't find any highlights. The title of this movie "Hollywood Newspaper" is simple and clear: "Disney's big mistake!"

"Disney originally wanted to compete for the cruel summer season with two animated movies at the same time, but compared to works with rich connotations and wonderful stories like "Slam Dunk" and "Flying House" and "Guizu Agents" that are much mediocre. If it weren't for the children's love for small animals like guinea pigs, it would be hard to imagine how long this movie would last in the fierce competition."

Let’s look at the media ratings. The score of 67 is not bad, and it even reached the upper-middle level in previous years. However, it seems very shabby for competitors with a score of more than 90 points in the two parts.

In fact, to be honest, "Flying House" is indeed very excellent. In Li Xiaole's impression, this movie should have won nearly 300 million yuan in North America and a box office of 7.31 billion US dollars worldwide. This result is already quite amazing for animated movies.

In the North American market, it is understandable that "Slam Dunk" has not taken advantage of for the time being, but animated movies have always been a powerful tool for Hollywood to ramp up the audience. The real key point this time lies in the competition for overseas box office, especially the two major box office countries in China and Japan.

After a while, Li Xiaole received a call from Han Sanpin. Han Sanpin said excitedly: "The box office statistics last night were recorded, with a national 39.78 million~~~! Not only is the current box office champion, but it is also the first day record of a new animated film, which has exceeded the results of last year's "Kung Fu Panda". "Ah, it's a pity, this is a Japanese theme. It would be a pity."

"What's the situation in Japan?" Li Xiaole had long anticipated this achievement. "Slam Dunk" has a very deep audience base in China, far from what Han Sanpin, a post-60s generation, can understand. Just like when "Transformers" was released, almost all senior film critics did not think that this movie would achieve great success in China.

"I haven't asked in Japan yet, wait... I'll check it right now." Han Sanpin was stunned and put down the phone. Five minutes later, when Han Sanpin spoke again, his tone was obviously trembling: "Xiao Le... It's amazing, guess how many are?"

"Is the 1 billion yen over?" Li Xiaole carefully tested it. The total box office record of Japanese movies should be 30.4 billion in "Spirited Away", which is about 2.3 billion US dollars, and the first day was 1.6 billion yen. "Slam Dunk" should have received 1 billion yen on the first day, which is very good...

"No... it's not 1 billion, but 1.561.23 million yen..." Han Sanpin said excitedly.

"There is 1.5 billion?" Li Xiaole was slightly surprised when he heard it. He remembered that "Hal's Mobile Castle" ranked second on the box office on the day should be more than 1.4 billion, which means that this result should be the second place in the premiere of Japanese animated films. It seems that the role played by the Japanese comic promotion in Japan was beyond imagination... Maybe it may be possible to challenge the new record of Japanese movies.

"This is a new record for Chinese directors in Japan... No, you should have broken at least three records..." Han Sanpin laughed. As a Chinese, he heard that the movies filmed by his own country's company actually occupied the Japanese market, Han Sanpin had an inexplicable pride.

"Uncle Han, please help me stare at the data in Japan. My ability in Japan is limited." Li Xiaole's most afraid of now is that the Japanese side has faked the data for his own face.

"Don't worry, Zhongying has its own connections in Japan, and I will put pressure on them." Han Sanpin also lowered his voice. If "Slam Dunk" can continue to make a sensation in Japan, it will not only be cultural, but also a great wealth in politics. For Zhongying, it will greatly improve its position in the national cultural industry, and Han Sanpin naturally needs to take it seriously.

In general, the results of "Slam Dunk" are higher than people's expectations for him. Whether in North America, Japan, or China, in these three largest box office harvests in the world, this animated film undoubtedly demonstrates the strength of top movies. Although "Slam Dunk" is slightly lost to the other two movies in the North American market, it is a big victory in Japan and China. "Flying House Travel" and "Guizuma Special Attack Team" combined in China and Japan is less than one-third of "Slam Dunk".

This means that "Slam Dunk" won a temporary victory at the global box office.

Li Xiaole told Lei Ting about this result and said half-jokingly to her: "It seems that before I revitalize Chinese movies, I will first help Japanese movies enter the Hollywood market. I am afraid that someone will be called a traitor again."

Lei Ting replied lukewarmly: "Don't be proud of it first. There are "The Dragon Trainer" and "Ice Age 3" later. I think we won't keep the popularity so much." You should know that in terms of early reputation, these two movies are much better than "The Slam Dunk" among the critics.

Li Xiaole disagreed and said, "That's not necessarily the case. This movie is different from other cartoons. I believe that many people will watch it more than once."

"Is that true? Even if there are more people watching it, our company's summer ace will be "Avengers"." Lei Ting said speechlessly.

But just as Disney was still calculating whether "Flying House" could continue to break the 900 million global box office record of "Monster Shrek 2", the box office results of "Slam Dunk" shocked them again on the second day. The Japanese anime movie has seen a rapid increase, with box office rising from 12.37 million to 16.37 million, surpassing "Guizu Agents"'s 13.17 million, and began to catch up with "Flying House" which won 25.67 million in the box office of the day.

In Japan and China, "Slam Dunk" has made great progress, continuing his box office Dugu Qiubai. In comparison, other movies cannot pose any threat to him at all.

This momentum shows that "Slam Dunk" may exceed the level of $500 million on the global box office list and become NO·1 of Asian animated films... You should know that the previous record holder "Spirited Away" only had a box office of $27.8 billion.

"It seems that there is no problem in recovering the cost, and it will not affect the completion of the film and television base." Lei Ting also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This time, Asian filmmakers must thank you. You have helped them open up a new Hollywood channel."

"Thank you? It would be nice if they didn't poke my backbone." Li Xiaole smiled self-deprecatingly.

Just when the Hollywood Major League was still inspiring and arguing whether it was time to increase "Slam Dunk" to 3,500 yuan or 4,500 yuan, the box office results on the third day came out, which immediately stopped all the debate. On that day, the box office of "Slam Dunk" in North American theaters was still increasing, reaching 27.43 million yuan, surpassing "Flying House" 27.12 million yuan in one fell swoop, becoming the champion of the single-day box office.

The senior executives of Disney Company were stunned. They didn't expect that the attacks between their two movies would be like this? Forget it if they were defeated in the Chinese and Japanese markets!? Will they still lose in the North American market?

Disney's spokesperson was extremely angry at the theater distribution meeting of the major leagues, scolding Todd Hardy for favoring the Black Pearl Company, calling them "robbers from Asia and borers of Hollywood" and "must suppress them firmly", which made Todd Hardy's expression so gloomy.

This is really funny. "Flying House" and "Guizu Pigs" won 6,000 yuan on the screen, but lost to "Slam Dunk" with 2,000 yuan on the screen. Can this be blamed for not supporting Disney?

In response, Wagner, the representative of Black Pearl Company, directly slapped the table and scolded Disney for his hypocrisy. However, Disney's nonsense still played a role. In the end, the Major League also had no choice but to delay the timely adjustment of the number of screens, postponing the time to next week.

This is obviously unfair to "Slam Dunk", because next week, the box office harvester of Fox's Blue Sky Studios "Ice Age 3" is about to start painting. "Flying House" and "Guizu Pig Agents" will be satisfied for them to get a satisfactory box office in the first week.

Black Pearl Company obviously lacks experience in the competition in the major leagues. Wagnera called Li Xiaole specifically and apologized: "Sorry, Li... I made a job mistake this time, and I didn't expect that those people in Disney would be so shameless..."

Li Xiaole answered very confidently: "It doesn't matter. Ms. Wagner, "Slam Dunk" is not an entertainment-style weekly movie like "Guizumax". The effect of reputation among fans will make more people interested in going to the theater. After all, our audience is actually different from other Hollywood animations. Our audience is over 15 years old, and they are all ideal consumers..."
