Doraemon is still "hot", surpassing Spiderman's revenue

After three days of the weekend of June 1st this year, the movie “Doraemon: Nobita and the Utopian Land” was still chosen by the theater to have an outstanding number of screenings, suitable for the tastes of children and families in Vietnam.

The two films topping the box office charts last weekend (June 2-4) were “Doraemon: Nobita and the Great Land in the Sky” and “Spider-man: Across the Spider-verse.”

Contrary to the excitement that audiences and critics have for the new Spiderman, the film only ranked second at the Vietnamese box office, "following" quite closely behind the film Doraemon.

Box Office Vietnam figures last weekend showed that Robot Cat earned more than VND12.5 billion, equivalent to 129,350 tickets sold. The film was released on May 26 and is in its second week of release. With that achievement, the total revenue of the film "Nobita and the Ideal Land in the Sky" has now reached VND54.5 billion.

Meanwhile, Spiderman only earned over 10.3 billion VND in the three-day weekend. Released on International Children's Day, June 1, the film earned over 4 billion VND on its first day of release.

In terms of the total number of screenings, it can be seen that cinemas in Vietnam rate Doraemon's revenue potential higher. The film is ranked 4,526 screenings, Spiderman is ranked 3,642, approximately 1,000 screenings less.

However, at the box office around the world , this situation is reversed. According to statistics from Box Office Mojo, the Spiderman movie is on the rise, earning 208.6 million USD mainly from the American and European markets... while the Doraemon movie only reached nearly 32.7 million USD mainly from Vietnam and Japan.

Another work for children on the occasion of June 1st was the live-action version of “The Little Mermaid” (2023). Unfortunately, the new Disney adaptation did not meet audience expectations. Released nearly a week before Spider-Man, the total global revenue of “The Little Mermaid” is currently only 326.7 million USD.

With a budget of 250 million USD (not including marketing costs), the film is said to need to earn at least 500 million USD, or even 750 million USD to break even.

In Vietnam, the film also received many negative reactions from the audience, only earning over 10 billion VND since its release on May 26./.
