The Big Picture After opening in several major overseas markets this weekend — its second — Universal’s Kung Fu Panda 4 properly took off at the global box office. Like most animated films, the fourth installment of the long-running franchise is getting a staggered release internationally, but if its domestic performance is any indication, the movie is poised to have an impressive theatrical run.
The animated sequel grossed an estimated $30 million in its second weekend, taking its running stateside haul to $107 million after 10 days. The movie has grossed a little under $70 million from overseas markets, for a cumulative global haul of $176 million.
Those films were also major global hits, with the first Kung Fu Panda grossing $630 million worldwide in 2008, the second film delivering a $665 million global haul in 2011, and the third film tapping out with $520 million worldwide in 2016. Combined with the fourth film's $176 million worldwide haul, the Kung Fu Panda franchise is now on the verge of grossing more than $2 billion worldwide in a day or two.
Can 'Kung Fu Panda 4' Successfully Revive the Dormant Franchise? The movie serves as something of a soft reboot for the franchise, with two more sequels planned. Reviews, however, have been decidedly more mixed as compared to the largely glowing response that the previous three films garnered. Kung Fu Panda 4 has a 70% approval rating on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, as compared to the 87%, 81%, and 86% scores of the first, second, and third films, respectively.
