Bona Film Group’s *Sanxingdui: Future Past*, billed as China’s first fully AI-generated feature film, opened nationwide on October 23, 2026. The 100-minute sci-fi thriller has no live actors and had received an official public screening license. Maoyan listed more than 10,000 opening-day screenings, but presales stood at just 65,000 yuan (about $9,700) by the previous evening.
Maoyan data cited by AFP had forecast total box-office takings below about $15,000. The source also reports that the film grossed a little over $75,000 in its first two days, October 23–24; the earlier forecast was not the final result.
