Chapter 357 The Summer Has Just Begun

"Kung Fu Panda" was fully released on its second day, earning an impressive 8.0 rating on IMDB (3,279 votes) and a 92%/90% freshness score on Rotten Tomatoes. Its audience likeability stood at 87%, withstanding the test of public release and maintaining its reputation as a well-received classic.

The opening day box office was not shocking but certainly not a failure. Averaging $6,561 across 3,451 theaters, the total came to $22.642 million, easily clinching the top spot on Friday. "Monster-in-Law" took second place with just $5.759 million. "Kung Fu Panda's" opening day performance ranked first among PG-rated movies released so far this year, and its weekend forecast looked to surpass $60 million in US Dollars, which would place it in the top ten of all-time May opening weekends after adjusting for inflation.
