The Louis Koo Tin Lok and Sean Lau Ching Wan starred film WARRIORS OF FUTURE (MING YUT JIN GEI) opened on the 13th in the Mainland and made around 395 million yuan RMB, the performance was ordinary. Two days ago some Mainland complaints surfaced about going to watch WARRIOR but another movie's title appeared on the ticket. In the photo posted online, the ticket had the title of MOON MAN while the hand written ticket was for WARRIORS. The person claimed the ticket purchase was for WARRIORS, did not understand why such a situation would appear and felt that MOON "stole away" the box office.

Because the incident kept brewing, the two film's official social media accounts issued separate statements. WARRIORS claimed that a certain business without signing any alliance agreement with any cineplex sold tickets without permission and the matter has already been referred to the related departments for confirmation. This was a third party business behavior, not the film company's. As for MOON it expressed outrage over the online accusation of box office theft and pointed out that it would hand the matter to law enforcement units to handle and take legal action against any "box office theft" comment to protect its own rights and benefits.

In addition, Koo Tin Lok continued to promote WARRIORS with all his might. In the latest commercial, he held a figure and joked, "No one is bigger than me". Tony Wu Tsz Tung and Chu Kam Yin grabbed at the figure and his chest, promoting the film in a funny way.
