‘Kung Fu Panda 4’ repeats at No. 1 on the North American box office charts

Kung Fu Panda 4 stayed at the top of the North American box office in its second weekend in theaters. The franchise featuring the voice of Jack Black is responsible for over $1.9 billion at the box office since it launched in 2008 and spawned several animated series, shorts, video games and a holiday special. There were several new movies arriving in over 1,000 theatres this weekend, including Lionsgate’s Mark Wahlberg dog movie Arthur the King, Focus Features’ comedic satire The American Society of Magical Negroes and A24’s Kristen Stewart-led bodybuilding thriller Love Lies Bleeding. But the charts still belonged to the franchises, including Dune: Part Two, which came in a very close second in its third weekend, with $29.1 million.
