In late June, the daily box office for the Rurouni Kenshin Movie Version began to decline after its third day in theaters!
After all, not every work Chu Yu produced had the quality of Castle in the Sky or Spirited Away!
Even with Chu Yu's popularity behind them, some works could hardly break past the limits of their own quality!
But in truth, over the year from July last year to June this year, the many films released by Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin had already terrified many people in the Dragon Country film industry!
In their eyes, Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin were figures from the Animation Industry. Including Spirited Away from a few years ago, the two of them had produced six films for the Dragon Country film industry. The lowest-grossing was Chu Yu's 5 Centimeters per Second, with 980 million yuan, while the highest-grossing was Spirited Away, with 8.4 billion yuan!
Each of them had produced three films. Zhao Qinyin's three works had raked in a total of 15.6 billion yuan, while Chu Yu's three works had earned 8.1 billion for Castle in the Sky and 980 million for 5 Centimeters per Second. Add the Rurouni Kenshin Movie Version, now in theaters and expected to make over 1.8 billion, and Chu Yu's three films would bring in more than 10.7 billion yuan in total!
Between them, their six works—mostly animated films or live-action adaptations of anime—had taken in over 26.3 billion yuan at the box office.
It was a pity that Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin weren't film directors. With figures like these, they wouldn't just rank first and second in the Dragon Country Animation Industry; they'd also rank first and second among Dragon Country film directors in cumulative box-office earnings!
