Is China Not Allowing the Film’s Release?
China is the world’s second-largest movie market, but oops-it’s a NO for Why is Shang-Chi and The Legend of Ten Rings to get released. The audience has loved the film so far, but China has not allowed it to get aired there. In China, the film was supposed to be released in February 2021 and delayed due to the havoc pandemic. Since then, the film has failed to secure any place there, and yes, you heard it right, it seems that it will never get released there.
It is a first Marvel movie to date that has failed to secure any place in Chinese theatres, which can harm its global box office collection. The reason behind such an issue can be anticipated might be its cast and view of the comic series. The comic book on which the story is built is labelled as to be racist and has stereotypical issues, which has eventually led China to ban the film.
It is disheartening for the fans of Marvel Studios in China, yet it can be expected that the film will rise up as one of the best movies of 2021 and might be able to compensate its collection by getting released at the Labor Day weekend.
