SHANG-CHI WEEKEND THREAD | NO SPOILERS | 75.38M 3-Day, 94.67M 4-Day. Record for Labor Day! | Tony Leung saved the theater! | Get Vaccinated and Wear a mask.

Free Guy was dated in China days before release after US release.

 

I think Shang Chi will be released there, maybe late September? But i suspect we will know days before like FG.

 

But anyway i hope it happens because it will give the movie a shot at +500M

I just saw Candyman and holy shit, WHAT A MOVIE. The direction is tremendous. One of my faves of the year so far. Hopefully WOM carries it over 60M DOM.

Next year feels so overstuffed with movies so close to one another it's insane. Guess that's what you pay when you delay everything. If we're going with a new Labor Day title, John Wick or Black Adam sound about right.

There’s like no blockbusters proper scheduled in August; it’s so bizarre to me, especially considering how well Free Guy did two weeks after Jungle Cruise this year (woulda thought something would’ve moved in the brief shuffling last week)

sat will probably be very close but i would expect sun to be a lot higher

[ThomasNicole]

They really put 18.4M (if Sat is 23) on Sunday? That's a 20%, this looks extremally unrealistic.

 

Monday seems too low aswell.

 

But anyway this isn't the first time Disney lowball only to grow the next day.

Marvel Shang-Chi and The Legend of Ten Rings to the second best-3 day of the pandemic with $71.4M, behind Disney/Marvel’s Black Widow ($80.3M) and ahead of F9‘s $70M. The 4-day per industry estimates is expected to be $89.2M. Disney is reporting $83.5M for the four-days.

That seems extremely low for Sunday.

[Assassin]

$71.4M 3 day estimate from Disney? They are ridiculously lowballing.

 

 

[charlie Jatinder]

Yeah no shit. Disney wasn't gonna give the realistic expectations. I was actually expecting round $70M estimates.

Even with inflated Sunday I expect a decent drop next weekend. Hopefully less than 58% and over $30m.

• Random thought.... I wish I was on here during Black Panther's opening weekend. That must have been a moment
