That Shang Chi 4-day estimate is still probably 4 or 5 million low.

I just don't get how Disney is this bad at estimates. Especially since they correctly gave Free Guy and Jungle Cruise slight Saturday to Sunday bumps with small dropoffs on Monday.

Not sure why they think Shang Chi is gonna be a 35% dropoff outlier on Monday.

Responses:

Youre right. Likely 93Mish. Perhaps consewrvative estimates manage expectations. So when there's a better result, there's a positive boost. Verus overestimated and seen as a dropoff -- nm* - budice Sep 6, 10:27 3
- But nobody advertises/reports the actuals. News stations and websites just report the estimate for Sunday news. So, I don't see the advantage there. - Inigo Sep 6, 10:31 2
  - Maybe the talent get paid from estimates 😂 -- nm - spamlet Sep 6, 11:51
  - Risk Management with emphasis on minimizing the negative result. Optics (Overestimating, then not meeting it) -- nm* - budice Sep 6, 10:48
