But it sucks so hard that the *beep* robot movie is going to earn so much more. The film going crowd is still majoritarily retarded.

Im just happy this movie is a financial and critical hit!

[–] coldguitargod 13 years ago

Me too. Who cares if transformers did in one weekend what this grossed? They are two diff kinda movies- one made for the masses (robots) and one directed at families. I think this did good for a family movie.

Plus, i'm happy for the director; the highest selling movie ever directed by a female? Wow, take that, Kathryn Bigelow.

[–] loccomotive2000 13 years ago

Apparently the Denmark and Hong Kong numbers aren't in yet...plus there's still Italy and Japan opening next month. With another 2-3 mil domestic, I think 600 mil will surely be hit.

reply

[–] nathanlbarnhill 13 years ago

It will make at least 20 million in Japan alone. I agree 600 million is a surety at this point. Will be very interesting to see how it does.

reply

[–] svilrada 13 years ago

Considering that KFP2 made $91 million in China alone and $40 million in South Korea, it wouldn't be to far off to estimate that the movie will gross at least $50 million in Japan pushing the total WW gross to well over $600 million. The question now is, will it be able to surpass the original KFP WW gross ($627 million)?

reply

[–] loccomotive2000 13 years ago

While Japan is a big market don't expect too much out of them...the first KFP only made 16 mil. Plus opening so late most people would've probably seen it through HQ downloads.

I guess KFP's humor is too slapstick for them. Hopefully the depth and emotion of this film will give them a Miyazaki impression, who's films never break a sweat to make 150-200 mil over there.

Sweet! Its going to break 570 Million! But will it break 590 to 600 Million?

reply

[–] nathanlbarnhill 13 years ago

Still hasn't opened in Italy or Japan (the first did about 40 million between those two).....so I would say yes.

That would be great! Kung Fu Panda 3, here we come... Still a little disappointed it was beaten by Cars 2 domestically.

If only it wouldn't have disappointed so much in domestic boxoffice, this would have easily made over 700 million worldwide.

Thats what you get when you release it on the same day THE HANGOVER PART II was released and second weeekend of the billion dollar hit Pirates 4.

Yep, and still with japan, italy, and indenesia to open in. This will surely pass KFP's 631M WW total once it does.

[–] Walter_Roehrich 13 years ago

It has to make 20 million till it has reached the prequel (worldwide). In a few weeks it will open in Italy and Japan, so it it possible that it surpasses Kung Fu Panda.

Is it possible that it'll surpass a billion after dvd sales?

14 August Update: Worldwide:$616,428,000

Japan Opening - 19 August
Italy Opening - 24 August

[–] sarthasam 13 years ago

Sweet hopefully with there help it will pass 630 Million World Wide.

reply

[–] loccomotive2000 13 years ago

I expect Japan and Italy to take it's final tally to $640M. We're good for four more movies...

If it has an epic, conclusive end, then $1B for the final movie is hardly a stretch.

reply

[–] Erazer528 13 years ago

$622,943,000 Worldwide now on Boxofficemojo.com... And the gross from Italy and Japan are not even added yet!
HELL YEAH.

Seen this movie yesterday again btw. Still awesome and the best movie of the year so far.

reply

[–] sarthasam 13 years ago

Sweet! Only 9 Million more to match the original! Once Japan and Italy grosses are added, I say it will pass the original!

Now at 625 Million World Wide

reply

[–] svilrada 13 years ago

Now at 625 Million World Wide.....And yet I keep coming across not quite a few articles and analyses that the movie is a boxoffice disappointment while at the same time proclaiming the following movies as big boxoffice hits:
.
The Hangover Part II = Worldwide: $581,236,410
Captain America - Worldwide: $316,689,825
The Smurfs - Worldwide: $332,593,468 (still on worldwide release)
Rise of the Planet of The Apes - Worldwide: $262,506,277 (still on worldwide release)
.
Is there a conspiracy to put down Kung Fu Panda 2 as a failure?

reply

[–] loccomotive2000 13 years ago

Domestically it is a disappointment...it should've made well over 200 mil. Worldwide it is a mega hit.

reply

[–] svilrada 13 years ago

Domestically, Avatar, Inception, Alice in Wonderland are disappointments as they didn't even double up the production costs with their respective domestic gross. Leonardo Dicaprio and Christopher Nolan wouldn't have made $70 million last year if not for the WW gross; James Cameron's $300 million take from Avatar came only from the WW gross; with the domestic gross he would have gotten nothing except the standard director's fee.

Just passed the first movie's final worldwide total and still has a bit of life left. $650M could be in play. Awesome.

reply

[–] sarthasam 13 years ago

Well it has done it! Its passed the original and has nearly broken 640 Million World Wide!!

reply

[–] Erazer528 13 years ago

And STILL, the grosses from Italy and Japan (only 3 Million there yet, wil be WAY more) are not added completely. I think it could do around 670 Million.

$650,175,000!!!!!!! It is currently the fourth highest grossing film of 2011!!!

Behind only

Pirates of The Caribbean 4
Transformers 3
Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2

reply

[–] Erazer528 13 years ago

Well, losing only to 1 Billon Blockbusters is not bad ;)

I think at the end, it will be around 675 million or something.
