Solid drop for Shang-Chi. Poor for Malignant but given that its supposedly very alienating and regular moviegoers seem to hate it, it could have been worse. Plus, not to mention WB's lack of marketing, and the whole HBO Max of it all.

Probably a combination of both. I doubt the film was that highly anticipated, but it's also clear that WB didn't see it as a major movie, and knew right away that would it be a massive turnoff for general audiences. The fact that it got greenlit at all, shows how much trust they have in Wan to begin with.
