The Iranian animated film ‘Smart Kid’, produced by Hamed Ja’fari, reached a significant milestone in the children’s cinema, surpassing the $1.24 million sales.
‘Smart Kid’ is the only non-comedic Iranian film to enter the $1.20 Iranian cinema, being categorized among the top six highest-grossing films in the history of Iranian cinema, ILNA wrote.
The first five highest-grossing films are ‘Fossil,’ ‘Hotel,’ ‘Lawless City’, ‘Solitary,’ and ‘Hawaii’, respectively.
Since its debut in the fall, the animated film has garnered widespread appeal among children and their families, amassing nearly 1.9 million viewers in the country’s cinemas.
