'Shang-Chi' Strong Second Weekend With $31M+

[RandySF]

With great success comes continued great chaos for the theatrical experience this past week. On the plus side, the domestic box office is continuing its rebound during the pandemic, with the second weekend of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings earning $9.7M in its second Friday, -67% for an estimated 3-day of $31.8M. That is the fourth-biggest second weekend for a September release after It ($60.1M), It Chapter Two ($39.6M), and Hotel Transylvania 2 ($33.1M).

Disney responds after the Marvel pic’s record Labor Day frame opening last weekend of $94.6M, by announcing that the rest of its domestic release slate for the year will honor a theatrical window ranging from 30-45 days per pic. Great, right?

1. I can't believe people are going to the movies

So many selfish people. I haven’t gone since the global pandemic started. We’ll never see this end with all those idiots out there.

San Francisco has an 80% vaccination raye and indoor mask requirement, so I gelt fine.

4. So. That's not 100 percent nor does it stop tourists from attending.

5. Weekdays..empty theaters. Plenty of room to spread out

3. Movie forums are currently full of sad bigots screaming about "Woke Culture."

They're angry about Shang-Chi but even more pissed off about certain aspects of The Suicide Squad.
