Boy kicked movie screen 5 times and was sued for 180,000 yuan? Cinema responded

The first day of the 2021 May Day holiday (May 1) had a box office of over 440 million yuan, with 11.5758 million viewers and 473,200 screenings, ranking second in the first day of the May Day holiday in Chinese film history. The booming box office dispelled the dark clouds of the epidemic, but some cinemas still had speechless incidents. On May 1, in Dongguan, Guangdong, a child ran to the screen and kicked and hit it at the end of the show, causing a noticeable dent in the screen.

This morning, a blogger revealed that the child's family compensated the cinema 180,000 yuan, and said, "The screen customization fee + lost work time during customization + transportation fee + screen replacement labor fee + wall-building fee for transporting the big screen into the hall, etc., this price is indeed not wrong."

Afterwards, the blogger refuted the rumor and said, "I'm sorry for spreading it."

Cinema staff said that the damaged screen affected the normal movie playback and they have reported the case to the police. The person involved has not been found yet . The online rumor that the parents wanted to pay 180,000 yuan in compensation is a rumor, but the screen is a Dolby Atmos CGS China Giant Screen, which is about the same price.

It is understood that CGS China Giant Screen is a high-end giant screen brand independently developed by China. It has developed rapidly in recent years. It uses a giant metal screen that is larger than 20 meters wide and 12 meters high.

The cost of investing in a giant screen system is about 4.5 million, which will vary depending on the configuration of light source, sound, etc. The average recovery period is 2-3 years. The average annual box office of a giant screen theater in China is currently over 3 million.
