China’s fully AI-generated feature Sanxingdui: Future Past had earned RMB1.21 million through Monday, according to estimates cited by Cartoon Brew. That is a concrete box-office result after the film’s 23 October debut, rather than the advance-sales forecast reported before audiences had a chance to see it.
Why it mattersCartoon Brew says the film cost more than RMB10 million, citing its producers, and had more than 10,000 screenings scheduled for opening day. The figures suggest a steep gap between production cost and early takings, though one film cannot settle whether audiences will pay for AI-made cinema.
