Those Asians are so diligent…even when it comes to shoring up support for their sporadic Asian led movies
The Broadway version got better reviews than the film one?
Did Shang Chi waste any character like they did Taskmaster? 🤔 oh wait they fixed that blunder that was Trevor Slattery... see no controversy, no angry mob? More $$$ and without Disney + support push. 😅
Reminder: BlackWidow would have 60-100++ Million less in earnings if not for the added revenue from Disney+ (it would have sat at the lowest earning MCU movie, instead of second lowest) - be sure to thank that push from D+ 🤭
Well done Shang Chi
well maybe if black widow had done taskmaster justice it'd be on top.
It’s in 20th place in the domestic BO ranking of Marvel films, behind Thor Dark World. I know there are qualifiers but even Black Widow earned more if you include the gross from Disney Plus. This should worry Marvel…
Apples and oranges. Shang Chi's audience didn't get split like Black Widow's was by Disney+.
NOW that Disney and MARVEL have made these characters the most successful franchises in history creators of such characters want partial or full ownership after ALL these past decades. Why was it no one did this prior to Disney/Marvel making them successful I wonder?😳🤔
Yes it beat BlackWidow but it was released exclusively in theaters during the delta spike and more restrictions. BlackWidow was released early July things were not as bad and less restrictions but it was released on D+ as well not fair.
Every new marvel movie succeed the next one lmao
Black Widow had a much better story. I watched that twice. There's no need to watch Shang Chi more than once. It was an okay movie but had bland acting and a dull story, sadly.
Scarlet will be so pissed!!
I know Venom will be better than this crap
Do Black Widow earnings include the premium online streaming fees?
F9 still top Globally F9
My movie is Killing it!
Didn’t take much
