Hong Tianjun was right.
In fact, for cinemas, while it was essential to guarantee schedules for newly-released films, there were no strict requirements for the timings. After all, no one wants to mess with money. With War Wolf being such a hit, buying one or two tickets to lock a screening wasn't going to make anyone change their schedule, which would be quite unfair.
So, when Saturday night at eleven o'clock came around and the butler reported back to Bai Haochen with the cinema schedule, the scene looked something like this—
"Master," the perpetually stern British butler twitched his shoulders continuously, attempting to maintain a serious expression on his face yet struggling immensely, "the major cinemas have released tomorrow's schedule. Currently, War Wolf's scheduling ratio is at 66.9 percent, about ninety-five thousand screenings. Three Lives of Love is scheduled for twenty-five thousand screenings, which makes up 26.8 percent."
