A movie going offline was synonymous with a movie going offline. Both referred to the movie stopping being shown in cinemas. Movies in cinemas would usually be taken offline or taken off the screen after about a month. The specific offline time would be decided by the theater chain based on the box office performance of the movie. If the movie's attendance rate reached the theater's stipulated value and did not continue to fall behind, the theater would usually extend the screening time. However, there was no fixed time for logging off, except for special circumstances. Therefore, the removal of the film could be understood as the elimination system for the last place.
