《Bull Run》 Goes Viral, Propelling A-share "Bull" Stocks into Top Five Hot Stocks, Riding on the Wave of Movie Curiosity, Achieving Million-Dollar Box Office

BlockBeats News, August 17th, the Chinese domestically produced abstract animated film "Bull Run" has become wildly popular. During the Sunday market off-hours, it drove A-share stocks with the Chinese character for "bull" into the top five of the National Stock Trader Hot Stocks list on the Flush app. Jinniu Chemical, Gongniu Group, and Tongniu Information were among the names on the list, with Jinniu Chemical firmly in the top spot. In the stock discussion forums related to these stocks, some netizens exclaimed that this is the "concept stock" of the movie "Bull Run," while others shared their movie tickets for "Bull Run" to show their support through actual actions. However, some netizens also reminded investors to be cautious as the "concept stock" of "Bull Run" is purely driven by hype.

Some investors expressed: "This is just made for the stock market. Ordinary people don't really understand it. Bull Run, Bull Run, sounds so exciting, attracting many people to join. But when they entered, they found that this bull was actually so crudely made. They've already paid for the ticket, and it's not easy to leave midway. It's like being trapped. This tells us a truth: never enter blindly out of curiosity."

Some scenes in the movie struck a chord with investors: when Bull Run stumbled and cried, Bull's mother asked, "Bull Run, why are you crying?" Bull Run said he tripped over a stone, and his mother replied, "Silly child, that's a stumbling block. Even a dog wouldn't touch it."

"Bull Run" has recently sparked a wave of curiosity watching. On the first day of its release, the film was shown in 251 sessions with only 122 viewers, grossing 3420 yuan. After 10 days of screening, the total box office was only 7705 yuan, with a daily peak viewership of just over a dozen. Currently, "Bull Run" is still being screened, and the box office has surged from a few thousand yuan in the early stages to several million. According to Lighthouse Professional Edition, the movie "Bull Run" has entered the top 10 of China's domestic animated film box office for 2026, with a current box office of 4.648 million yuan, ranking ninth after "Shuke Beta's Microscopic Humans" with 6.732 million yuan.

The on-chain Meme token of the same name has also witnessed speculation. According to the GMGN market, the BNB Chain's Meme coin "Bull Run" reached a peak market cap of $29 million today and then retraced to $10 million before forming a "V" shape, currently reporting a market cap of $18.5 million, with a 24-hour trading volume as high as $37.6 million.

BlockBeats reminds users that Meme coins often lack practical use cases, have significant price volatility, and investment should be approached with caution.
