It must be because it's doing good at theaters. If it bombed I wonder if it would have been on Disney+ right at the 45 day mark.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking viewing the Box Office results....

Box office sales not withstanding, I'm hearing the movie itself is pretty good. Looks nothing like the Shang-Chi from the comics far as I can tell, but I'll be glad to catch it when it streams.

It's nothing like the Master of Kung Fu comics by Moench, Gulacy, Zeck, Day, etc. from the '70s, which is a shame because those comics were awesome.

But... it's still very good and highly entertaining. Not perfect; I still think the ending came too close to losing the narrative thread; but the action is fun, the villain is charismatic and interesting. I expected to cringe at Akwafina but she was funny and charming. They basically took the best parts of Shang-Chi and Danny Rand's characters and meshed them into one.
