In a remarkable feat, “Kung Fu Panda 4,” the latest installment in Universal and Dreamworks Animation’s beloved franchise, has soared past the half-billion mark in global box office revenue, crossing the $503.5 million milestone last weekend. Directed by Mike Mitchell, the animated adventure continues to captivate audiences worldwide, solidifying Universal’s position as a powerhouse in the animation realm.

Since the onset of the pandemic, only a select few animated features have achieved such monumental success. Alongside “Kung Fu Panda 4,” titles including “Demon Slayer The Movie: Mugen Train,” “Minions: The Rise of Gru,” “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” and “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” have breached the illustrious half-billion mark, highlighting the enduring popularity of animated storytelling.

With “Kung Fu Panda 4” joining this prestigious club, Universal now claims ownership of three out of the five half-billion animation grossers in the past five years, further cementing its dominance in the industry. In its eighth weekend in the U.S. market, “Kung Fu Panda 4” raked in an impressive $3.5 million, securing seventh place and bringing its domestic earnings to a substantial $185 million.

Internationally, the film continues to thrive, adding $11.6 million to its overseas haul last weekend, elevating its foreign total to an impressive $318.5 million. Key foreign markets contributing to its success include China, Mexico, the U.K., Germany, and Australia.

The phenomenal success of “Kung Fu Panda 4” adds to the franchise’s already impressive track record, with the four films collectively grossing over $2.3 billion at the global box office. This places it among the top 10 theatrical animation franchises of all time, reaffirming its status as a beloved cultural phenomenon.

In addition to “Kung Fu Panda 4,” Dreamworks Animation currently has another offering enchanting audiences in U.S. theaters: the 20th anniversary re-release of “Shrek 2,” which has amassed $3.3 million in revenue. Despite its seemingly modest figures, this total nearly matches the combined gross of three recent Disney-Pixar theatrical releases: “Soul,” “Turning Red,” and “Luca,” highlighting the enduring appeal of Dreamworks’ iconic characters.

Meanwhile, across the Pacific in Japan, “Detective Conan: The Million-Dollar Pentagram,” the 27th installment in the long-running franchise, continues to dazzle audiences in its third weekend, pulling in an impressive $7.8 million. With a total gross of $55.6 million in Japan alone, the film follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, “Black Iron Submarine,” which remains the franchise’s highest-grossing title, having earned nearly $90 million in Japan last year.
