The main broadcast events include table tennis, badminton, diving, volleyball and other events that match the viewing time, and the ticket prices are basically the same as those of ordinary movies.

Paris, the host city of the current Olympics, has a six-hour time difference with Beijing. It was already early in the morning when the opening ceremony took place, but the theaters open to watch the games last night still had a good attendance rate.

Take the China Film International Cinemas Joy City branch in Yangpu District, Shanghai, for example. The store’s ticket price for the Olympic opening ceremony was 50 yuan. Before the opening ceremony, more than 100 tickets were sold in the theater with more than 200 people, and the attendance rate reached about 50%.

The MOViE MOViE Cinema Qiantan Taikoo Li location in Pudong New Area was already full before the opening, despite the 95 yuan ticket price.

At present, reservations for the men's basketball match between the United States and Serbia on July 28 and the table tennis mixed doubles bronze medal match + final on July 30 are now open, and some matches have already had good attendance rates.
