Box-Office Weekend: Kung Fu Panda Stays On Top

For a second consecutive weekend, Kung Fu Panda 4 held onto the number one spot of the box-office weekend, albeit by only $0.9 million.

In its second weekend of release, Kung Fu Panda 4 brought in $30.0 million to stay on top of the top ten. This gives the Universal Pictures product an overall total of $107.7 million. Meanwhile, still relegated to the second spot of the top ten, Dune: Part Two finished just behind that with $29.1 million over the weekend for Warner Brothers. This brings the film’s three-week tally to $205.3 million. Debuting in third place with $7.5 million was the family film Arthur the King starring Mark Wahlberg. The offering from Lionsgate Films took the place of another Lionsgate film as Imaginary was pushed down to fourth where it added $5.6 million, raising its two-week total to $19.1 million. Also falling a spot was Angel Studios’ Cabrini which landed in fifth place this weekend earning $2.8 million to give the film an overall total of $13.0 million to show for its first two weeks in release.

Meanwhile, A24’s Love Lies Bleeding debuted in the top ten in sixth place with $2.5 million over the weekend. Last weekend’s fifth-place film, Bob Marley: One Love fell to seventh place this weekend where it made $2.3 million for Paramount Pictures, bringing its five-week total to $93.4 million. The third debut of the weekend, One Life, landed in eighth place where it took in $1.7 million for Bleecker Street Media. In ninth place, the final debut of the weekend, The American Society of Magical Negroes brought in $1.3 million for Focus Features. Finally, after claiming sixth place last weekend, Ordinary Angels dropped to tenth place where it added $1.0 million to bring its four-week total to $18.1 million.

Four films were pushed out of the box-office weekend top ten over the last three days. The films that finished in seventh- through tenth-place last weekend were all forced out of the top ten this weekend. After earning a disappointing $43.5 million over five weeks for Columbia Pictures and finishing in seventh place last weekend, Madame Web crept away from the top ten this week. Universal Pictures enjoyed thirteen productive weeks from Migration, which departs the top ten with $126.5 million earned overall before bowing out of the top ten this weekend. After debuting in ninth-place last weekend, Yolo couldn’t crack the list again, instead Sony Pictures Releasing will have to be content with the $1.5 million the film has already earned. Finally, following fourteen weeks in release, the Warner Bros. product, Wonka leaves the top ten with an overall tally of $218.2 million.
