‘Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’ just made history in America by becoming the highest grossing film in that country since the start of the pandemic. That privilege belonged until now to ‘Black Widow’, but the film starring Simu Liu has already surpassed the other MCU adventure that has been released this year on the big screen.
And what’s left
$ 196.5 million It is what already accumulates’ Shang-Chi and the legend of the ten rings after adding another 13.3 million this weekend. In this way, it far exceeds the 186.7 million that the film led by Scarlett Johansson. In addition, box office experts point out that it is not at all out of the question that it ends up reaching 250 million when it is withdrawn from theaters.
Also, ‘Shang-Chi and the legend of the ten rings’ Thus he chains four weeks at the head of the United States box office, something that no other movie had achieved so far this year. Of course, he has succeeded because the last big releases have crashed. ‘Maligno’ did it, the same happened with ‘Cry Macho’ and this weekend it was ‘Dear Evan Hansen’ that had a most disappointing release.
These data reinforce the idea that for Disney Exclusive theatrical releases work better today than simultaneous releases. The study itself already came to that conclusion, because a couple of weeks ago it already announced that its remaining 2021 films would first be seen only in theaters.
