It’s cheaper compared to other activities, and when a “good” movie hits, there’s nothing like the feeling of having shared something magical with the audience. So, imagine my surprise and disappointment when I found out it is currently slated for release in Malaysia in the middle of October. Clamping down on piracy is a useless endeavour, as determined individuals will always find a way around to getting free entertainment. Piracy has also likely accelerated tenfold during the Covid-19 pandemic, as films were released on streaming services in the United States. I believe film exhibitors and studios will potentially lose out on much-needed revenue by delaying the screening of highly anticipated films like Shang-Chi.
