I think they stick to exclusive theatrical if only to tell ScarJo “SEE? No way Black Widow hits those thresholds.”

It’s sacrificing the revenue of Shang-Chi to win a court case.

🍎 and 🍊, though. -- nm - Spawn Aug 1, 13:40
They sacrificed the revenue of Shang-Chi when they scheduled it for Labor Day Weekend. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 1, 12:28 9
- They chose that weekend and then Delta Variant lol’d. -- nm - IAmQale Aug 1, 13:31
- I don’t think our traditional notion of “good” weekends applies right now. -- nm - Dark Callisto Aug 1, 12:42 7
  - They scheduled it for a bottom 2 weekend in normal times, at best. If we are ‘back’, that means end of summer fun, not theaters. - Will Hunting Aug 1, 13:02 3
    - There's a year and a half of backlog to get through. Everything is a viable weekend now. -- nm - Reagen Aug 1, 13:09 2
      - The 800lb gorilla picks it’s weekend. They chose the worst. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 1, 13:26 1
        
        Those are pre-Covid rules. Behaviours are scrambled now. -- nm - Reagen Aug 1, 15:51
  - plus there is nothing else on that weekend being released -- nm - Remlik Aug 1, 13:01 2
    - It’s MCU. People move because of MCU. You put it a week later and make that week move. - Will Hunting Aug 1, 13:03 1
      - Nah. they didn't dump it. you're wrong. -- nm - Remlik Aug 1, 13:25
Simon Liu is not the Hollywood equivalent of ScarJo, that's a pretty awful comparison. -- nm - ty97 Aug 1, 12:27 3
- Yes, but I'll do the same thing I did with black widow: pay for premiere access, because my kids aren't vaccinated. - Beryllium Aug 1, 12:37 2
  - There aren't any other Premiere Access titles scheduled right now. -- nm - Reagen Aug 1, 12:40 1
    - Well then I'll wait. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 1, 14:14
