It has been almost 3 years since the last Fast & Furious film, The Fate of the Furious, which debuted in 2017. Now, the family members are back and it seems the franchise has got even more bigger and better as Universal Pictures has just released an action-packed new trailer for F9, the ninth installment in the Fast & Furious saga. F9 was supposed to kick-off the summer season last year in May 2020 but due to the pandemic situation held back its release. Now, the makers have released the super bowl teaser of the blockbuster franchise which comprises of Diesel, Rodriguez, Kang, Charlize Theron, Helen Mirren and John Cena.

On the other hand, Marvel's next big adventure starring Asian actors, has opened very well from 900 screens which was a big surprise, considering it does not feature well-known stars plus the super-hero character is not popular unlike other Marvel's character. The advance booking for Shang Chi was better than other Hollywood COVID-19 releases like Tenet, Wonder Woman 1984, Godzilla Vs Kong and even better than the recent released Bollywood flick - the Akshay Kumar starrer Bell Bottom.

With glowing reviews, Shang Chi opened on a good note with Rs 2.97 crore. The collection remained stable with Rs 3.33 crore on Saturday. There was a good jump on Sunday with Rs 4.31 crore.  The super-hero drama held very well with Rs 1.53 crore on Monday, Rs 1.35 crore on Tuesday and Rs 1.30 crore on Wednesday. As per early estimates, Thursday was fine with Rs 1.10 crore, bringing the first week collections to somewhere between Rs 15.70-15.90 crore.
