In the following days, "Hello! Mr. Tree" was screened several more times at the Venice International Film Festival.
There were even additional screenings.
Of course, such art films are well received in Venice, but they don't have such a good market back home.
The first-day box office was over three million, but by the second day, it fell by over two million, and the second day was Saturday. Even after various interpretations by critics on the third day, it didn't exceed three million.
The first week's box office was eight million.
Everyone generally complained that they couldn't understand it at all, and didn't know what the director was trying to express.
Actually, eight million in the first week is already pretty good.
According to Han Jie, this film getting any more than five million was Qi Hao pulling a miracle.
Now with an eight million box office, plus various copyrights and bonuses, breaking even has become very simple.
