A theatrical-opening milestone
Global Times reported on July 19 that the film had crossed 200 million yuan during its opening weekend after entering Chinese cinemas on July 18.
Early reception in context
The same report described an 8.3 score on Douban and said it was temporarily leading the 2026 summer season's new releases in reviews. That wording matters: it records a moment in the score's life, rather than presenting it as a permanent ranking or fixed audience verdict.
International dates enter the public record
Global Times also said the production company announced a staggered overseas rollout beginning August 13, then additional territories on August 14 and September 4. These dates give English-language readers a concrete distribution watchlist while leaving local cinema availability to each market.
