After the release of Dune Part 2, Kung Fu Panda 4 took the box office by storm, fighting hard for the first slot.
Denis Villeneuve’s animation has grossed $494.7 million globally, with $208 million in North America and $289.4 million internationally.
By Monday, it should cross the $500 million mark. However, Dune 2 is currently the highest-grossing film of 2024 worldwide.
As the animated sequel reached a second-weekend decline, it grossed nearly $30 million after its second release in two weeks.
It crossed the coveted $100 million mark domestically overall, but Dune: Part Two at the domestic box office Reached a slight decline in the third week.
Additionally, Dune: Part 2 was released in China ($36 million), U.K. ($32.8 million), Germany ($25 million), France ($24.9 million) and Australia ($15.6 million) received the highest turnout from around the world.
The first part of Dune was released in 2021, and the second part received twice as much as the first part, with an estimated budget of $29 million and grossed $205 million domestically.
Wonka star hopes to surpass Timothée Chalamet’s blockbuster lifetime earnings of $630 million, but it’s estimated.
As the film approaches its break-even point of $500 million worldwide, that’s set to gross approximately $433 million in a one-million global lifetime.
As one of the four featured movies, Kung Fu Panda has the second-best domestic debut among long-running sequels, but comparing it with the original movie is hard.
