Kung Fu Panda 4’s weekly dropoff is not a great sign of the film beating Kung Fu Panda 3. The fourth installment saw a 50.2% dropoff during week 2 of its release and a 35.4% dropoff for week 3. If it continues trending downward, bringing in enough to Kung Fu Panda 3 seems unlikely. Either way, Kung Fu Panda 4 can be proud of how far it has come at the domestic and global box offices so far.
