交易员 shared falling National Day box office and admissions figures. Beijing Daily, citing Dengta at 20:14 on October 7, reported RMB 1.156 billion and 31.76 million admissions. CCTV’s platform-based closing figure was RMB 1.164 billion. These timestamps should not be silently combined.

The China Film Administration’s published 2025 totals were RMB 1.835 billion and 50.07 million admissions. The followed post calculates declines using more precise 2026 numbers, but we did not obtain the matching 2026 official release and do not label that precision officially verified.

The available reports support a closing total near RMB 1.16 billion. Explaining the decline requires aligned cutoff times, holiday lengths, screenings and films. Gross revenue alone cannot distinguish changing attendance, ticket prices or audience preferences.
