Shang-Chi coming to a theater near you 5 5

[▫️]

Will see this on Monday afternoon. Waiting for some of the riff raff to clear out.

[WeR138]

Saw it  last night.

I'm going to give it a "C".

A waaay more convoluted storyline than it needed to be.

#ShangChi earned a glowing A grade from CinemaScore from opening night audiences and still rocks a sky high 98% RT aud score. Movie fans are having a blast. Full opening day soared to near $30M.

 

$70MM+ 4 day seems to be in the cards

CinemaScore, really? Do I need to break down a list of their “A” movies? And I’ll take Metacritic over RT. I’m not saying I’m not excited to see this movie but those sites don’t hold much influence for me.

That’s crazy that this could pass up BW. I guess Disney really did mess up with its release.

I guess its overlooked as its just part of the home media release. Along with all the digital copies of BW sold on iTunes and amazon.

Shang-chi was a better movie the BW.  Not quantum leaps better but it's a more watchable movie in almost every way.

Holy cr p I can't believe how much this thing is looking to make.

If this holds up that is waaaay more than I ever would have suspected.  

Maybe eternals will do better after all too.

I would imagine spider-man/Bond will blow the doors off the box office at this point.

Just saw this one. Hard to set my opinion to words.

Awkwafina's Katy really helped.

One more item to finish up. Why does Captain Marvel have a strange thing between her eyes?

Venom should push to next year.  

You're right there's too much on that date.

A-. Very fun. Loved the fight sequences. Fantastic visuals and great villain. Also liked Awkwafina.

I wonder how drotto is doing with his Shang-Chi movie stock? Did he buy early as I suggested? The Ten Rings pretty much TKO’d that $35 million weekend estimate.

[@therealsilvermane]

Yes, that’s domestic.

[@therealsilvermane]

In this day and age of social media, you just have to make a good movie because word of mouth is everything (haters aside). Besides other factors like the MCU fan base and a theater only premiere, Shang-Chi owes a lot of this opening weekend success to good word of mouth. And that’s because it’s a good movie.

Crushed that. With all the Shang-Chi naysayers on this thread and everywhere else, I’m having a little fun with this.
