Kung Fu Soccer Kicks Global Box Office Goals
14 Jul
Summary
- Kung Fu Soccer debuted in second place globally with $73.6M.
- Moana opened at No. 1 worldwide, earning $95.1M in its first week.
- Toy Story 5 continues its strong performance, reaching $879.5M total.
Stephen Chow's highly anticipated directorial effort, Kung Fu Soccer, kicked off its global run by securing the second position at the worldwide box office, earning $73.6M during its opening weekend. The film, a female-led spin-off inspired by his previous hit Shaolin Soccer, dominated China's box office.
Disney's live-action adaptation of Moana opened at the top of the global charts, bringing in $95.1M worldwide. However, its performance was considered modest, with lower-than-anticipated openings in several key international markets, though it did achieve No. 1 non-local openings in countries like Australia and France.
Meanwhile, Toy Story 5 continues to be a box office powerhouse, having accumulated a total of $879.5M globally. The animated sequel showed particular strength in markets such as Brazil and Mexico, and its international earnings continue to climb, making it Pixar's seventh highest-grossing film.
Minions & Monsters rounded out the top weekend earners, with a $61M global debut. Evil Dead Rise and Obsession also made their marks in the top ten, with horror and romantic comedy genres finding their audiences worldwide.
