On October 1st, the first installment of *Swordsman*, titled *Sword of Mount Hua*, premiered nationwide, raking in 49.2 million at the box office on its opening day.
In the industry, this figure did not cause much of a stir. Since *Swordsman* had nearly 50 million in pre-sales, an opening day total hovering around that mark was perfectly normal and nothing to be surprised about. Most people were watching from the sidelines, waiting to see if *Swordsman* could recoup its production costs under the heavy barrage of *Ace Super Agent*, or if it would become Lu Chen's first failure.
On October 2nd, *Swordsman* grossed 57.72 million—an increase of over 8 million—bringing its total box office past the 100 million mark. Meanwhile, *Ace Super Agent* also saw a rise, its 77 million haul keeping *Swordsman* firmly suppressed.
