As a result of viewers' high anticipation for "Triple Tap", "Triple Tap" was pushed forward to July 1 from its initial July 2nd release. Although many were not aware of this change in scheduling (explaining the increase in revenue from July 1 to 2), "Triple Tap" still remained viewers' first choice of movie to watch in theatres as reflected in July 1'st 5 million box office revenue. The following day on July 2, "Triple Tap" continued to persist, earning 8.5 million in revenues at the box office, becoming the cross-China box office champion, and amounting to 13.5 million in box office revenue.

Amidst Friday night's 10pm quarterfinals elimination World Cup game (Netherlands vs. Brazil), even though other movies experienced low ticket sales, only "Triple Tap" managed to hold on to 80% of ticket sale rates, making each large movie theater's manager very surprised. "Completely did not expect "Triple Tap" to have such high ticket sales, playing at the same time as the World Cup game. It's not that there's no confidence in the movie, but rather that the World Cup is too strong. "Triple Tap"'s extremely high attendance rate gave a 1-month long cinema lull a huge boost," said one theater manager. According to industry experts, "Triple Tap"'s first week box office is predicted to be no less than 30 million.
