If with other movies, Box Office Vietnam usually has an error of 5% to 10%, then forDoraemon: Nobita and the Symphony of the Earthis 15%.
"Because last week coincided with the end of the school year, the number of group tickets and student discount tickets ofDoraemona lot, leading to an average ticket price ofDoraemondecrease, making the publisher's revenue certainly not as much as we show.
Student discount ticket policies of all cinemas cannot be purchased online, and can only be applied when coming directly to the cinema due to the need to confirm age directly.
Therefore, Box Office Vietnam cannot measure this discount data" - Mr. Khanh Duong explained.
