The upcoming blockbuster will follow the same release pattern as Shang-Chi. <\/p>
Upcoming superhero blockbuster Eternals will get an exclusive cinema release, Marvel Studios has confirmed.<\/p>\n
The star-studded project has been in the pipeline for quite some time, having completed filming in March 2020, shortly before the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n
Since then, the film has been delayed multiple times as the cinema industry grappled with the health crisis, but now finds itself on course for a release date this November.<\/p>\n
There had been speculation from fans that Marvel Studios would attempt a simultaneous launch in cinemas and on Disney Plus Premier Access<\/a> as they did for Scarlett Johansson\u2019s Black Widow<\/a> back in July.<\/p>\n This is due to a recent surge in coronavirus cases in the United States, as well as fears that the winter season could lead to a general spike around the world.<\/p>\n However, following the major success of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings<\/a> \u2013 which enjoyed the biggest Labour Day weekend of all time \u2013 it appears Marvel have been encouraged to stick to the cinematic release model.<\/p> The studio will again utilise the shortened 45-day theatrical window, meaning that the film will become available for home viewing after just a month-and-a-half.<\/p>\n At the time of writing, Shang-Chi has grossed $105 million at the US box office and has a worldwide total of $166 million, meaning it still has some time to go before fully recouping its hefty budget, which is rumoured to be as high as $200 million.<\/p>\n Eternals<\/a> is said to have a similarly high price tag, having enlisted an all-star cast that includes Angelina Jolie (Maleficent<\/a>), Richard Madden (Bodyguard), Kit Harington (Game of Thrones<\/a>), and Gemma Chan (Humans).<\/p>\n
