Niu Lai total collection worldwide
A separate international gross and a verified final worldwide collection are not established in the sources recorded here. The CNY 46 million+ figure covers mainland China at the snapshot time; it should not be relabeled as a current worldwide total.
“Total collection” means cumulative ticket sales. Worldwide gross would combine China and any confirmed overseas theatrical receipts. An unconfirmed overseas total does not mean zero. For the dated release information, see where to watch Niu Lai.
Niu Lai budget
Not confirmed by a reliable public source. Sina's August 15 report describes estimates in the tens of thousands of yuan, while explicitly saying the filmmakers had not published an official production cost. Those estimates are not an audited budget.
Company registered capital is also not a film budget. For the small production team behind the film, read the cast and creators guide.
Niu Lai profit: can it be calculated?
A verified profit figure cannot be calculated from the public gross snapshot alone. Ticket sales are shared among cinemas, distributors and other parties; production, release and marketing costs also affect the result. Neither a confirmed budget nor a complete accounting of the filmmakers' receipts is recorded here.
Subtracting an online budget estimate from total ticket sales would produce a misleading profit or return-on-investment claim. Read the movie review overview for the audience response behind the viral attention.
