Marvel Studios’ Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings has achieved a pandemic first.
After topping the box office for four weeks, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings has crossed $200 million at the domestic box office in its fifth week. The film officially crossed the mark on Thursday night, becoming the first film to achieve the milestone during the pandemic.
Since being in theaters exclusively, Shang-Chi has secured countless box office records, with the most recent being surpassing Black Widow ($183.4 million) as the biggest movie of the year stateside. Black Widow, of course, was released simultaneously in theaters and through Disney+ Premier Access; it would finish its theatrical run at $183.4 million domestically and $379 million worldwide.
As of right now, Shang-Chi is nearing $370 million at the global box office and may finally have some competition this weekend with the release of Venom: Let There be Carnage.
