Suffocation

Suffocation is a movie that revolves around the life of a young and elite professional woman and her relationship with her autistic daughter. The young woman would always be dressed up beautifully and elegantly and she would always highlight her own abilities and beauty to everyone around her. Moreover, she also hid the fact that she had an autistic daughter from the world, as though she wanted to live in the glamorous world all on her own. The drama began when some of her colleagues started circulating rumors that she had a daughter who was autistic. From that moment on, her entire world started collapsing immediately. Everyone scolded and reprimanded her for her vanity and because she was being so mean toward her daughter. However, the mystery would only be solved at the end of the movie. She managed to bring in a lot of income and money because of her disguise and this was the only way she could maintain and afford the cost of her daughter’s treatment. Moreover, her husband, his parents and his brother would always try to drag her down and they did not give her any hope for a better tomorrow at all.

Response
In mid-July,  and three domestic blockbusters were released at the same time. Although word-of-mouth burst, the lack of publicity in the early stage resulted in a shortage of audience in the theaters. Therefore, the premiere box office would not look good. The other two movies were over 100 million and 90 million, while  only had 60 million.
