A Chinese film released on August 5 initially draws very small audiences, but later gains traction at the box office. According to NDTV, it earns 7,700 yuan (about Rs 1.04 lakh) in its first 10 days, when fewer than 300 people nationwide buy tickets.

The reporting describes how the film, reportedly made on a very small budget by two people, later begins outperforming major international titles in box office figures in China. NDTV frames this shift as a turnaround from a nearly unnoticed debut to a stronger run, including comparisons with films such as “Spider-Man” and “Odyssey.”
