Going to be huge, $9m on Thursday and $60m OW. Global OW of $90-100m too low?

For the pandemic, Disney/Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of Ten Rings posted a solid Thursday night preview gross –especially before a slow Labor Day box office frame– of $8.8M from showtimes that began at 6PM. On the high side, that figure is above the Thursday night start of Universal’s F9 which posted $7.1M before slotting the second best opening day of the pandemic of $29.9M (previews repped 24% of that number) and second best weekend of $70M. We had been hearing that advance ticket sales were running ahead of F9, so Shang-Chi‘s Thursday makes sense.

Disney is proving they can open a Marvel movie anywhere on the calendar, even during a pandemic as Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of Ten Rings posted the third best opening day during the pandemic with $29.6M (just behind F9‘s $29.9M) with what will feasibly be the biggest Labor Day opening weekend of all-time with $75M-$85M+ over four-days. On a three-day measure, Shang-Chi is estimated to bring in $67.8M which is the third best debut during Covid times after Black Widow‘s $80.3M and F9‘s $70M.
Shang-Chi pulled in 62% males, 51% under 25 and the moviegoing dominant quad of 18-34 at 60%. Diversity mix was 36% Caucasian, 23% Asian/other, 23% Latino and 18% Black.
3 day $71½m, 4 day $83½m, WW $140m !
