Disney’s ShangChi is heading for a box office three-peat
” and “Copshop” with Gerard Butler — are opening nationwide, neither are expected to defeat “Shang-Chi” on domestic box office charts.
In pre-COVID times, it wouldn’t have been particularly notable for “Shang-Chi” to hit $200 million in North America. But given the state of moviegoing during the pandemic, the film’s box office revenues have been encouraging to Disney. “Shang-Chi” is one of the studio’s few releases to debut only in theaters , a method it plans to continue through the remainder of 2021 with films including Marvel’s “Eternals” and Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story” remake.
“Cry Macho” is projected to earn between $5 million to $7 million from 3,800 theaters. Unless the $33 million-budgeted film defies expectations and manages to draw notable crowds, it’ll be the latest Warner Bros. film to tumble out of the gate while premiering simultaneously on HBO Max. Over the last few weeks, the studio’s sci-fi romance drama “Reminiscence” and the thriller “Malignant” have misfired at the box office — even by tempered COVID standards.
“Cry Macho” has gotten mixed reviews and holds a 50% on Rotten Tomatoes. The film takes place in the late ’70s and follows a Texan ex-rodeo star who agrees to help his former boss extricate his son in Mexico. In his, chief film critic Owen Gleiberman praised the prolific filmmaker and referred to “Cry Macho” as “pleasant enough,” writing “It’s friendly and diverting and formulaic, in an inoffensive and good-natured way, and it’s a totally minor affair.
