Just imagine how those D-Boxes are going to convey karate moves. People will be flipping all over the theater.

 

That just looks like it would be annoying as all get out when trying to watch a movie.

Hahaha, thanks for all the responses, I think I'll pass.

It worked for Mr. Bean.

I've read so many reviews on D-Box theater experiences and at some point count on "...and then I turned it off!"

HSX says: Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings could pull in $56 million over the long weekend.  'Stock' estimating $55 million opening 4 days, $150-160 million total.  Pre-sales supposedly running 20% behind BW. RT/Metacritic holding steady at 91/71.

My over/under $60MM US/$120MM WW.

I really enjoyed the movie. The fight scenes were amazing. I’m definitely gonna see it again in the theater

Shang-Chi is as advertised. It's a really good movie. I thought it looked great in 3D and I could tell the filmmaker definitely shot some scenes with that format in mind. Will be seeing this next in IMAX.

The mid-credits scene was a bit of a shock. Marvel is back for sure. Maybe had the best end credits scene for a MCU film IMO. It was definitely part of the movie's story and not a throwaway scene like it sometimes is with the Marvel films. You should stick around for it.

This movie proves that Marvel needs the movie theaters. Shan- Chi won't be the same on Disney+ IMO.

I saw it and I liked it.

Saw it last night, had a good time. Solid B-level Marvel flick with a few outstanding fight scenes. The acting was forgettable; Morris was the best one.

Going to try to catch it on Labor Day. The reviews look pretty good so far on Rotten Tomatoes

i'm surprised it's doing worse than BW considering it's a theater only release

‘Shang-Chi’ Rings Up $8.8M In Thursday Night Previews

1/3 behind BW, if it plays as front loaded as that one (unlikely), looking at minimum low $50 millions 3 day, low $60 millions 4 day. For certain, opening domestic weekend > entire US run of TSS and entire US run of WW1984

But at least you are consistent.

‘Shang-Chi’ Smashing Labor Day Opening Weekend Records With $60M+ – Midday Box Office Update

Shang-Chi‘s three-day total looks to be around $60M, with the potential to do in the mid- to high-$60M range over four days. That’s poised to be 126% higher than the previous Labor Day weekend record opener, 2017’s Halloween. It could even go much higher, but we’ll have a better idea tomorrow morning. This is according to industry estimates, not Disney.

Deadline's lowball straw man estimate smashed

I thought it was a tad better then ok (C+).  Ending was pretty good but the middle was really slow.  Not near the top of the Marvel list.

I enjoyed it! Shang-Chi was always one of my Marvel fav's so it was a definite treat to see this on the big screen. My wife liked the movie  and she doesn't have the fan attachment  i do so that's a positive sign for its future growth.  It's stands as a well done origin story and the action was great. 4/5 Endless story possibilities if Disney + takes the other Marvel martial arts characters to TV as Netflix did after/during this new phase.

Went with the whole family & everyone enjoyed it for sure.

My girls (15 &19) were definitely excited watching the movie.

Wifey is usually chill but she had fun and she doesn't care for Marvel stuff.

At the end of the movie the whole theatre was applauding (Los Angeles metro IMAX).

Fight scenes are next level. Shang Chi just upped the bar on the fight choreography in the MCU.

Very solid all around but I wish they showed more fight club.

They could of really rocked the Marvel universe with that fight club but it was still good nonetheless.

Big boss fight tied everything up well.

End credits are very solid (reminded me how much I miss the big screen MCU, D+ dont cut it).

I'll watch Shang Chi again 100% because Martial Arts x Marvel is a 1000000000% winning combination.

Solid 9/10.

Now go support your local businesses and movie theatres so JPow can stop printing money.

Of the many A's MCU movies receive (A-, A, A+) this one received the middle.

Do with that what you will.
