As the popularity of the film continues to rise, the ticketing platform’s final box office forecast for the film continues to grow. AI predicts that the final total box office of “Nezha 2” may reach 9.5 billion yuan.

As the box office champion in China’s film history, how much money can the director dumplings and film studio get from “Nezha 2”?

According to public information, there are five producers of “Nezha 2”, namely Chengdu Kekedou Animation Film and Television Co., Ltd., Beijing Guangguang Media Co., Ltd., Beijing Guangguang Film Co., Ltd., Chengdu Zizijing Culture Media Co., Ltd., and Beijing Colorful Bar House Technology Co., Ltd.

The reporter inquired and found that the legal representative of Color Bar House is also Wang Changtian, chairman of Light, so there are 3 Light Departments among the 5 producers. In addition, Cocoa Bean and Zhizi Realm are companies held by director Dumpling (Yang Yu).

It is worth noting that there is no co-producer of “Nezha 2”. In other words, the profits of the film company are mainly distributed by the two companies in which Guangguang and Jiaozi hold shares.

Based on the final box office of 9.5 billion yuan, the box office of the movie is approximately 8.5 billion yuan. More than half of the money will be distributed to theaters. Data shows that theaters will share 52.27%, and they can get about 4.4 billion yuan. The other part of the film has a share of 39.24%, and can receive approximately 3.3 billion yuan.

According to Enlight Media’s announcement, as of February 4, 2025, the cumulative box office revenue (including service fees) of “Nezha 2” was approximately RMB 4.840 billion, and the company’s operating income from this film ranged from approximately RMB 950 million to RMB 1.01 billion.

Combined with the film’s 39.24% share ratio, Enlight Media’s investment ratio in “Nezha 2” is about 60%. The investment ratio of the two companies held by Dumpling is about 40%.

Based on a 60% calculation, in the end, Light Media can earn about 2 billion yuan from “Nezha 2”, and cocoa beans and free realm can earn about 1.3 billion yuan.

In addition to the film, how much money can the director get for his dumplings?

Some industry insiders told Blue Whale reporters that how much money a director can share depends on two factors. If the director signs a contract with the management, he will have no other income after taking his salary. If the director shares a stake in production, the profits will be distributed proportionately. There is a high probability that directors like Jiaozi will invest in production.

As mentioned above, based on the final box office of 9.5 billion yuan, the film will receive approximately 3.3 billion yuan. Excluding production and publicity costs, the film’s net profit is approximately 2.7 billion yuan.

The reporter learned that directors can generally get a 5% to 10% share of the film’s net profit. Based on a minimum of 5%, directors can get 135 million yuan in revenue from “Nezha 2”.

However, this is only a part of the income. It is worth noting that Jiaozi is also an important shareholder of Chengdu Keke Bean Animation Film and Television Co., Ltd. and Chengdu Zizijing Cultural Media Co., Ltd., holding a 56% stake in Chengdu Coke Bean Animation and in Chengdu Zizijing Cultural Media accounts for 51%. He can also earn corresponding benefits through the company’s equity.

In addition, there are additional benefits such as derivative sales and online copyright from “Nezha 2”.

Due to the complex data on the income composition, it is impossible to accurately calculate, but it is certain that the benefits brought by “Nezha 2” to dumplings are extremely rich, which also provides a stronger foundation for the subsequent creation of “Nezha 3”. Financial base.
