"Shanghai Fortress" barely broke 100 million yuan in box office after 3 days of release: Fear of losing all the money

On August 11, netizens were talking about the Chinese sci-fi blockbuster "Shanghai Fortress" finally breaking the 100 million yuan box office record. As of 10:44 am, the box office of "Shanghai Fortress" was 3.8 million yuan that day, and the cumulative box office was 103.6 million yuan. After three days of public opinion bombardment, this Chinese sci-fi blockbuster, which was once highly anticipated, finally broke the 100 million yuan box office record.

Earlier, there was news that "Shanghai Fortress" had an investment of nearly 400 million yuan, and the box office must exceed 1 billion yuan for the producer to make a profit. Judging from the current box office trend, a loss should be a foregone conclusion.

"Shanghai Fortress" was officially released on August 9. It opened high but ended low on the first day, earning 76.8 million yuan in box office, less than the 113 million yuan of "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World".

Currently, Shanghai Fortress has a Douban score of only 3.3 points, and 59.9% of users gave it a 1-star rating after watching it. Even on the Maoyan platform, which has a relatively high score, its score is only 6.0 points, which is lower than other films released during the same period.

What is relatively rare is that on the evening of August 10, the official Weibo account of the movie Shanghai Fortress posted four consecutive messages, "Is this a bad movie????" to respond to the criticism of the bad movie. However, it deleted the post and apologized. Then the People's Daily published an article "The Wandering Earth gave face to domestic science fiction films, but was lost by Shanghai Fortress", criticizing Shanghai Fortress.

On the morning of August 11, Teng Huatao, the director of Shanghai Fortress, responded to the reputation of Shanghai Fortress by posting a long article on Weibo, saying, "I am really sorry, because I believe that no one wants to close this shining door (the door to domestic science fiction)."
