Obviously he is. The movie is a huge hit and broke records this weekend. He is just sad he guessed wrong again and everyone is calling him out on it.
He's doing the same in every Disney movie thread. When shown that a movie did indeed make a profit, his fallback is always that it didn't make as much as movies pre-pandemic.
Pretty trollish.
"As we told you yesterday, Disney/Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of Ten Rings is easily headed to $90M+ over four-days. This comes after an awesome Sunday hold, -2% from Saturday, with $22.7M bringing the pic’s 3-day to $75.5M, and 4-day to a massive record breaking of $90M for the Labor Day stretch per Disney. Industry estimates see it between $91M-$92M. Today is expected to come in around $16.2M per industry estimates, while Disney is figuring $14.5M. Either way you slice it, it’s a hit."

It was a great movie.

Very excited to catch Shang-Chi next weekend; been listening to the soundtrack ahead of time and I'm thrilled at the AsAm representation throughout.
Proof?

He has none. He predicted it would bomb and when it obviously didn’t he planted his feet in the ground and wouldn’t budge from his incorrect prediction. He is a wanna-be movie insider who has no clue.

It’s kind of like this person I saw on Twitter. He was claiming that nobody was watching the movie and posted a screen shot of his local theater where all the seats weren’t filled. Of course, he didn’t include the showtime, theater or time he took the screen shot.

Sounds like proof to me. But just go ahead like 1Happy is doing and ignore that Shang-Chi shattered the previous Labor Day record. And that film came out before the pandemic was ever a thought.
Saw it yesterday. Has a different feel to it from other Marvel flicks but it was damned good. The movie did what it needed to do which is set up the character as an Avenger.

Is this sarcasm as I am one who believes that Shang-Chi has been a success?

My nearest theater has very few seats available for today. Between reduced capacity, mask requirements, and general uneasiness there's a lot of reasons this movie won't reach the heights of previous Marvel movies.
Given the times the movie is clearly doing well. People aren't at the point of rushing out to see movies en masse, but this one is drawing a good audience.
This whole citing unreasonable box office expectations to support one's opinion of a movie is nothing new. People went on and on about The Last Jedi doing worse than The Force Awakens, despite the latter being an outlier, a once in a generation event with a box office haul that cannot be compared to any normal movie release.

I think you are taking it too far the other direction calling it a huge hit as well. It's doing well, but it's not a huge hit. You can cite a host of reasons, but I don't think you can call $90 million a huge hit.

It crushed the previous record for a movie released during Labor Day and it was released during the worst time of this pandemic. Sorry but one has to look at box office results through this new covid metric. It is a huge hit.

So is black widdow the most epic hit in the history of movies then since it not only beat it, but did it with people having the ability to watch it from home instead? Sure, it beat labor day. But if you want me to believe how remarkable it is that it somehow beat the 28th remake of Halloween and jeepers creepers 2, good luck. It's a success, and that is impressive with times we are in. But I'm not buying that this is the equivalent to what say black panther did.It crushed the previous record for a movie released during Labor Day and it was released during the worst time of this pandemic.

Wrong:
Opening weekend (Thurs-Sun) -
Thor - $65M
Captain America: The First Avenger - $65M
Ant-Man - $57M
The Incredible Hulk - $55M
All 4 were origin movies and all 4 had lower openings than Shang-Chi's $75M (Thurs-Sun). And all 4 didn't open during a pandemic when seating is still limited.

I feel that’s virtually impossible for us to know or even guess at. The industry has changed so completely. We should be thrilled with this, it’s a win for the film industry.
