Meme Coin News Flash: The theatrical run of the film "Niu Lai" has officially wrapped up, with overall screenings significantly reduced, and its box office exceeding 15 million RMB.

Director Xin Yumeng of Chinese domestic abstract animated film *Niu Lai* publicly responded, confirming the film's theatrical run has officially ended. He thanked audiences for their concern and discussions, acknowledged the work has many shortcomings, and noted the experience was very valuable for the team. The production company of *Niu Lai* is based in Dalian, which earlier pulled all screenings over "concerns about affecting the city's image". However, local reports today say some cinemas in Dalian have resumed showings. The earlier nationwide online rumor that "no new screenings will be added starting August 17" has not been officially confirmed. Most cities still screened the film normally on August 16, but following the director's confirmation of the end of its theatrical run, overall screenings have shrunk significantly. At the box office, the film's revenue surged from an initial several thousand yuan and continued to climb, breaking through 15 million RMB as of tonight, ranking 7th on the 2026 Chinese domestic animated film box office chart, with the official releasing a celebratory announcement. Per GMGN data, the meme coin *Niu Lai* on BNB Chain remains actively traded. Its market cap once hit a new high of $49.2 million, then fell back to $36 million after failing to break through the $50 million mark, marking a 26% short-term correction, 142% 24-hour gain, and $37.5 million in 24-hour trading volume. BlockBeats reminds users that meme coins mostly have no practical use cases, with high price volatility, so investment requires caution.
