China's First AI-Generated Film Faces Low Box Office Performance

China's inaugural fully AI-generated feature film, 'Sanxingdui: Future Past,' has premiered in cinemas but is struggling at the box office. Despite over 10,000 scheduled screenings, presale revenue was only 80,000 yuan ($11,980), with total projected earnings below 150,000 yuan, significantly less than its reported production cost exceeding 10 million yuan. This performance raises questions about the commercial viability of current AI-generated films.
