Main Points
China’s first AI‑produced theatrical film, Sanxingdui: Future Past, has struggled at the box office. The film, which cost more than 10 million RMB to produce, earned only 1.229 million RMB in its first four days of release. Attendance fell to a 0.2 % occupancy rate, with an average of 0.3 viewers per screening. Critics have pointed out several shortcomings in the movie. While the static visuals—such as the bronze tree—are praised for their high quality, reviewers note that the characters’ expressions appear stiff and the dialogue carries a distinct “AI” feel. The plot is described as fragmented and confusing. The lukewarm reception has dampened enthusiasm for the current wave of AI‑driven film projects, suggesting that an AI concept alone is insufficient to attract audiences.
