Take 2008's Cape No. 7. Despite having a lot of cultural content that doesn't resonate on the mainland, and despite the pirated editions being sold for RMB5 on mainland streets, the film nonetheless achieved a take of RMB23 million at the box office there. That's the equivalent of more than NT $ 100 million.
2008 年《海角七號》在國情差異、少有宣傳，加上 5 元人民幣盜版光碟到處都是的情況下，還在大陸創下 2,300 萬人民幣的票房，等於是憑空多了一筆上億台幣的收入，不賺可惜。
