Los Angeles, California – Animated film “Kung Fu Panda 4” continues to dominate the domestic box office, raking in a solid $30 million in its second weekend. With a total gross of $107.7 million in North America and $176.5 million worldwide after 10 days, the family-friendly movie remains a hit.
Mark Wahlberg’s drama “Arthur the King,” however, fell short of expectations, bringing in only $7.5 million in its debut weekend. Despite mixed reviews, the film managed to receive an “A” grade from CinemaScore, indicating better reception from audiences than critics.
Meanwhile, “Dune: Part Two” secured the second spot with a strong $29 million in its third weekend. The sci-fi sequel has grossed over $400 million globally, outperforming its predecessor at the box office.
In fourth place, the thriller “Imaginary” earned $5.5 million, while the faith-based drama “Cabrini” rounded out the top five with $2.9 million. The domestic box office overall still lags behind the previous year’s numbers.
Looking ahead, upcoming releases like “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” and “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” aim to revitalize the box office and set the stage for a promising summer movie season. Analysts anticipate these films to provide a much-needed boost to the industry and pave the way for a successful theatrical run.
