After reaching $200 million domestically, “Shang-Chi and the Legends of the Ten Rings” has surpassed the $400-million barrier, making it only the third Hollywood movie to reach the milestone during the COVID-19 era.
The achievement: The 25th installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe made a total of $401 million globally last week, making it the third movie after “Godzilla vs. Kong” and “Fast and Furious 9” to garner that much money during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to We Got This Covered.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings passed the $400M global mark this weekend.
The film grossed an estimated $4.9M internationally this weekend. Estimated international total stands at $189.1M, estimated global total stands at $401.6M.#ShangChi #BoxOffice @MarvelStudios pic.twitter.com/e594XS2jJr

Standing on its own: “Shang-Chi” has become the first movie in the pandemic era to make $400 million without the help of the Chinese market, ScreenRant reported.
- This is unlike movies such as “Godzilla v.s. Kong” and “Fast & Furious 9,” which made $188 million and $203 million, respectively, at the Chinese box office.
- The Chinese government reportedly pulled “Shang-Chi” from its list of upcoming films after Simu Liu made negative comments about his family’s life in the mainland.
