Marvel Shang-Chi breaks box office records with $71.4 million opening weekend

This is the second best pandemic era opening weekend ever

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten RIngs has been released on September 3rd Worldwide. The movie has hit the box office with a record weekend collection of $71.4 million. The Marvel movie is getting ready to hit $83.5 million over the four-day Labor Day weekend. Shang-Chi also becomes the second best after the pandemic-era falling just behind Back-Widow with a record $80.3 million.

According to the report by Variety, this movie has just edged over the F9 movie with a collection of $70 million. This movie also makes the highest Labour Day openings that are considered an inactive period for getting collections. The previous record for the highest Labour Day was Halloween way back in 2007, with a collection of $30.6 million. It took more than a decade to break this record.

Marvel Shang-Chi has been released exclusively to the theaters that were not the case in Black Widow. This kind of collection from Shang-Chi might make Disney rethink their strategy of releasing superhero films. Before this release, Disney thought of opting for a hybrid release of these films to premiere in theaters and on Disney Plus on the same day. The upcoming movie from Marvel is The Eternals that might also get an exclusive theatre release.

Marvel Shang-Chi and the Legend of Ten Rings has globally collected a total of $127 million. The global market includes France, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Japan, Korea, Brazil, and Mexico. This also marks the first Asian Super Hero movie to get these collections throughout the world. Before the movie has been released, everyone anticipated the movie to get a collection ranging between $45 million to $50 million.
