In total $225M is an underperform for a Marvel movie, but we had COVID, and it's the first Shang Chi movie. The last Disney Marvel movie to make less than $225M was Ant-Man 2 in 2018, and before that Doctor Strange in 2016. That's a pretty solid track record of huge Marvel movies.

I do disagree with the "no one thought it was going to make that." It's similar to Black Panther, a lot of people totally did not see the support in a minority group for the movie. It was there, and some people knew, but it just wasn't common.

You can't have it both ways. Either COVID is fully factored in or it isn't. - Inigo Jan 20, 14:03 1
- I agree with you. There needs to be a COVID downgrade on it. Hence why I'm most torn on that one. :-) -- nm - MDH Jan 20, 14:04
