CATDOLL: "Naruto: Boruto Next Generations" debuted in China and only grossed 60 million in 4 days

The latest theatrical version of the classic anime "Naruto" "Naruto: Boruto Next Generations" was officially released in China on February 18. As of yesterday (February 21), the box office of "Naruto: Boruto Next Generations" finally exceeded 60 million yuan. Such a box office has exceeded many people's expectations, but it can only be described as mediocre. As for the future results, it is estimated that it will be difficult to have another explosion due to scheduling issues. It depends on whether the box office can reach hundreds of millions in the future.

In fact, the introduction of "Naruto: Boruto Next Generations" into China really made many anime fans born in the 80s and 90s very happy. After all, this is an anime work that has accompanied us growing up. However, compared with "Doraemon: Stand by Me" which created a box office of more than 500 million yuan, the current box office of "Naruto: Boruto Next Generations" is really a bit miserable. In addition to the release schedule, it is also because the audience of "Naruto" is still slightly small. "Doraemon" can be said to be a real national-level work. Even children can understand it, at least they can find fun in it. It is very suitable for the whole family to watch together. However, even if "Naruto: Boruto Next Generations" tells the story of a new generation of ninjas, it is also closely related to "Naruto" itself. If you have not seen this work before, it is probably difficult to see the fun. Moreover, the audience of this work is mainly teenagers, and the audience is really slightly small, so it is reasonable that the box office is not high.

Another reason is that some Naruto fans have really grown up, and it is difficult for them to find the same feelings they had before in this work, so they chose to give up. However, for those anime fans who have watched "Naruto", this theatrical version is really very meaningful. It has accompanied us as we grow up, and it can be said to be our passionate youth. Nowadays, many Naruto fans have already started families and become parents like Naruto in the play. Now when they come to the cinema to watch "Naruto: Boruto Next Generations", which conveys passion and family affection, they will definitely have different feelings than before, after all, we have all grown up. In 2016, "Naruto: Boruto Next Generations" gave us a story of inheritance, and we also gave "Naruto" a movie ticket.
