I think Marvel doesn't look only at the numbers to decide if a movie gets a sequel. I mean the first Ant-Man movie made rather disappointing numbers compared to the other MCU films and the character still got two more movies greenlit. It looks as if they clearly have big plans for the character and with the good reception I'd be surprised if Shang-Chi didn't get a sequel regardless of the final box office. Marvel will also take into account that it's hard for any solo movie to make big numbers in the current climate.
As for China, that seems to be a problem for whole Marvel, not just Shang-Chi as Black Widow also didn't get released there and Eternals likely won't, too.
Tolstoy will live forever. Some people do. But that's not enough. It's not the length of a life that matters, just the depth of it. The chances we take. The paths we choose. How we go on when our hearts break. Hearts always break and so we bend with our hearts. And we sway. But in the end what matters is that we loved... and lived.
A bat! That's it! It's an omen.. I'll shall become a bat!

And universal has confirmed it's putting halloween kills for free on peacocks pay version to try to save their hurting app same day as theatres.Disney announced that the remaining movies of 2021 including Eternals will get an exclusive run in theaters. So even clueless Bob has realized that the day and date release is a mistake.
So Christopher Nolan's next movie about J. Robert Oppenheimer will be produced and distributed by Universal Pictures, not by his longtime studio Warner. It's pretty clear that Warner's decision to go day and date on HBO Max with all their 2021 movies played a big part in Nolan's decision to leave his regular studio.
Disney with the Johansson lawsuit, Warner losing its high-profile director, one can say the day and date decisions are beginning to backfire.

Tom Hanks gives his opinion on the future of theatrical movies versus streaming. Pretty logical in my opinion.
Starts at just after the 8 minute mark and goes about six minutes, though the whole interview is good.
Power with Girl is better.

There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
Well, my friend talked me into it. I went to the theater today and saw Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. There were only 8 people in the theater and I remained fully masked but I was there. Not planning on making it a regular thing but at least I went this time.
