Deadpool & Wolverine, despite having a shaky beginning at the Chinese box office, is holding strong there and has now surpassed Kung Fu Panda 4. Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s crackling chemistry worked its charm on the audience, and Marvel proved there is no such thing as superhero/comic book movie fatigue. Scroll below for the deets.
Kung Fu Panda is one of the most successful animated film franchises, and the fourth installment, which came out earlier this year, was a commercial success, too. Jack Black once again lent his dynamic voice to Po the Panda, with Awkwafina joining the cast as Zhen, the Corsac fox. Po went up against the Chameleon in the latest movie, and as expected, the movie did not fail to charm the audience despite releasing at around the same time as Dune: Part Two.
Deadpool & Wolverine was one of the most anticipated movies this year, proving its worth at the box office. For the unversed, China is considered one of the largest film markets; hence, a significant amount of collections comes from there. According to trade analyst Luiz Fernando’s report, the Marvel movie came in strong at the 4th position at the beginning of the third weekend. The movie collected $1.2 million on 3rd Friday over 34K screenings. However, it has lost 19K screenings and faced a dip of 52% from last Friday.
