“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” is estimated to be around $70 million at the box office for three days over the weekend, slightly lower than the 80 million performance of “Black Widow” this year.

In view of the current severe epidemic in North America, the results of such a drawing have exceeded expectations.

Although US$70 million is not a big deal in the MCU universe, it is still much higher than US$55.4 million in “The Incredible Hulk” and US$57.2 million in “Ant-Man”.

There were no large-scale movies released in North America in the next two weeks.

“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” Rotten Tomatoes media freshness 93%, audience popcorn index 98%, CinemaScore score A, IMDb fans score 8.1, these all help boost the total box office of the film.

In addition, the film has also accounted for US$23.4 million in markets such as South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

In contrast, the performance of other Chinese lineup films in North America, “Tigre et dragon” took the award season route, with a small-scale opening of the first weekend box office of 660,000 U.S. dollars, and finally North America received 128 million U.S. dollars.

“Crazy Rich Asians” is a small and medium-sized investment film with US$26.51 million in the first weekend and US$174 million in North America.

“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” in North America eventually surpassed “Tigre et dragon” at the box office. It is not a big problem, and there is hope to challenge “Crazy Rich Asians” for 174 million.

Although “Black Widow” currently has a cumulative box office of only 181 million US dollars, “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” has not simultaneously launched streaming media, which is helpful to the theater box office growth.
