'Kung Fu Panda 4' Poster
The Big Picture It’s the sort of franchise resurrection that would make Godzilla and King Kong both proud; Kung Fu Panda 4 has successfully reignited interest in the animated series, eight years after the last installment concluded its run as the lowest-grossing film of the lot. This week, the hit sequel overtook its immediate predecessor, Kung Fu Panda 3, at the worldwide box office, having already surpassed it on the domestic front a few weeks ago.
While Kung Fu Panda 4 will probably not be able to match, let alone overtake these films, it has a strong shot of hitting the $600 million mark worldwide before the end of its run. Animated movies tend to deliver huge multiples, as has been observed in the box office runs of recent films such as Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, and Elemental, which bounced back from a near-record low opening for Pixar but eventually grossed nearly $500 million globally.
Amid reports of behind-the-scenes conflict arising from director Mike Mitchell’s methods, reviews for Kung Fu Panda 4 were among the most lukewarm that the franchise has ever seen. It holds a 72% approval rating on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, with Collider’s Ross Bonaime writing in his review that Kung Fu Panda 4 proves “that there’s still plenty of juice left in these movies.” You can watch the film in theaters and at home, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
