The film has already surpassed Black Widow’s $186.7 million domestic total according to Deadline and should finish the weekend with a running total of $196 million.
It’s only real new contender, Dear Evan Hansen, is having a rough time taking in only $3.3 million on Friday and estimated weekend take of $7.3 million, putting it solidly at second in the box office charts. This is likely the final weekend for Shang-Chi in the lead with Venom: Let There Be Carnage opening up on October 1st.
