Panda looks like it's going to reach 500 million after all

Man Panda 4 is going to get through the Panda 2/3 domestic totals within the next week. I wonder if it actually reaches 200M.

When will the first Saturday estimates drop?

A fun little anecdote. This isn't the first KFP movie to have an A- CinemaScore. The first one also had one too, which was followed by two sequels with A CinemaScore.

I kind of want to know if 4 can literally take over every entry in the franchise opening domestic weekend-wise. I think 1 is at 60.2 so what are the chances it can be done? Also, say it does 55-60M opening domestic weekend, what are your predictions for domestic total?

One thing to consider is that the RT verified audience score for Panda 4 comes from like 100 people. Not exactly vast enough to settle on audience reception. Maybe wait until it hits 1000 or something. Today is literally opening day lol.

Panda really did wake the heck up. Since 50M is more or less guaranteed, let's see if it can hit 60M now.

Lol at KFP4 waking the heck up.

The reason 3 costs so much is down to them making a version with China language-specific lip sync. 4 doesn't have that so it probably won't cost as much.

Won't flop imo. Aquaman 2 numbers for this would be pretty good considering that movie went into crossing almost 500m (and Kung Fu Panda probably has like half its budget at worst while each entry settled in the 500m or the 600m).

The movie has been screened at UCLA for a bunch of students Wednesday.

Been envisioned as a movie for the last five years it was in development going by interviews. The animation does seem up to theatrical quality at least.

One thing to consider is that KFP movies historically do not have good marketing, like much of the time. You could've watched the trailers for movie 1 and 2 and when you got to theaters you would've gotten something that felt completely out-of-tone with those.

Maybe things could be turned around if the movie has good word of mouth. Have you heard anything about the quality of the movie?
