So it looks super cool, but Shang-Chi is basically going to bomb isn't it, compared to other Marvel movies? -- nm

I'm seeing it purely for Tony Leung but the trailer did nothing for me. Think I'll do a In the Mood for Love rewatch soon. -- nm - LMS Aug 17, 10:47
My only thought: Black Widow is a known character and Shang Chi is not. -- nm - Pippy Aug 17, 10:47
Nope. It won't be as big as Black Panther, but it will have a similar cultural impact within the Asian community - Edward Havens Aug 17, 10:44 9
- I think he means Eternals. -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 11:07
- That's good to know. I have no reference to it other than that it is "Marvel" so it seems fairly disposable on the surface. I'm not super jazzed - oblique Aug 17, 10:47 6
  - I married into a family that is primarily Chinese (my wife is adopted), and it's all they can talk about - Edward Havens Aug 17, 10:52 5
    - movie question about characters = spoilers? maybe - Pippy Aug 17, 10:57 4
      - You didn't miss it (no spoilers) - Edward Havens Aug 17, 11:05 3
        
        Hmmm. I may have to rewatch that -- nm - oblique Aug 17, 11:32 1
        
        I'm the only one who got a whole lot out of IM3 but I missed that some how. *shrug* - Pippy Aug 17, 11:34
        
        Thank you. -- nm - Pippy Aug 17, 11:24
- Cool. I hope it exceeds at least my expectation. -- nm - Shaun Aug 17, 10:46
Why? Because of current theater conditions? Or does it look bad? - TWuG Aug 17, 10:39
The movie is just so nebulous. They could use Snake Eyes trailers for it and I wouldn't know the difference except for Awkwafina. - Mop Aug 17, 10:36
I'm not sure we can use regular parameters to determine what is considered a bomb right now. - the wrong element Aug 17, 10:35 1
- I feel like it's going to take in significantly less than Black Widow. -- nm - Shaun Aug 17, 10:37
I'm not going to theatres in the pandemic. But if it wasn't for the pandemic, I'd certainly be there opening weekend. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 17, 10:31
I would place my opening weekend estimate in the $55 million range. -- nm - David Aug 17, 10:29 2
- That's about what I think for the 4-day weekend. -- nm - Inigo Aug 17, 10:50
- oooooh I will take UNDER. -- nm - amanda jeans Aug 17, 10:49
if they make it D+ opening day we will get it for sure, otherwise we will wait till it is free on D+. -- nm - Beaker Aug 17, 10:29 6
- Sadly that's how we're leaning -- nm - eag Aug 17, 10:37
- 45-day theatre run, before it hits D+. -- nm - Shaun Aug 17, 10:36 3
  - free after 45 days? or Premiere Access then free? -- nm - Beaker Aug 17, 10:38 2
    - It's expected to be free. -- nm - Shaun Aug 17, 10:41 1
      - giggity. thanks -- nm - Beaker Aug 17, 10:43
- It's not going to be Premier Access. -- nm - David Aug 17, 10:35
