China's box office is no match for the awesomeness of 'Kung Fu Panda'
Did you have any misgivings about how Chinese people would perceive the portrayal of their culture in Dreamworks' Kung Fu Panda? Cause clearly they don't have any. In just ten short days Kung Fu Panda became the highest grossing animated film EVER in mainland China. Killed it! It has done so well on the mainland that the film is also the first animated feature film that has grossed over RMB100m, which is generally seen as a benchmark for blockbuster films in China. Clearly the mainland population has embraced Kung Fu Panda's 'awesomeness'. I personally thank them for bumping Garfield 2 out of the top spot.
1. Kung Fu Panda – $15.01m
2. Garfield 2 – $7.25m
3. The Lion King – $5.13m
4. TMNT – $5.02m
5. Ice Age 2 – $ 4.44m
6. Finding Nemo – $4.35m
7. Toy Story – 3.92m
8. Cars – $2.86m
9. Ratatouille – $2.85m
10. Secret Of The Magic Gourd – $2.75m
