Marvel to lose 300k a day on 'Shang-Chi' production delay
Disney halted film productions of “The Little Mermaid” and the “Home Alone” reboot for Disney+.
Marvel's upcoming film "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" has stopped production due to coronavirus concerns, losing the company 300k a day.
While this may mean that they aren't shooting the movie, they still have to pay for the department heads and other staff to maintain the project during the break. The filming got suspended for the time being as the director and the others are currently getting tested for Coronavirus.
Starring Simu Lui as the title character, the film is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and written by Dave Callaham (Wonder Woman: 1984).
Disney is taking a massive hit because of the coronavirus. They halted other film productions as well, like "The Little Mermaid" and the "Home Alone" reboot for Disney+, as well as their Marvel shows in production for their streaming service.
