Jun 9 2008'Kung Fu Panda' Messes with 'Zohan', Thus Winning Box Office
1. Kung Fu Panda - That this is both making a lot of money and getting pretty decent reviews confuses and angers me. ($60 million.)
2. You Don't Mess with the Zohan - The second-place, $40 million gross could have been much higher had Zohan opened last week, before Sandler's remaining fan base graduated middle school.
3. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - The addition of another $22.8 million brings Indiana Jones to a total gross of $253,026,000. So yeah, George Lucas will order the deluxe veggie burger.
4. Sex and the City - $21.3 million and untold gallons of estrogen.
5. The Strangers - $9.2 million, easily topping competing horror movies The Loose Acquaintances and Let's Get Out of Here: I Think I Met That Dude at a Party, But I Really Don't Want to Talk to Him Again.

your ass is asking for it if you name your movie 'Don't Mess with the Zohan'

I took my kids to see Kung Fu Panda over the weekend, and I actually really loved it. It made me laugh out loud a bunch of times, and my boys were practically riveted to the screen for the entire movie, something that's almost unprecedented. The animation was good, and the characters were surprisingly likable, with the possible exception of Angalina Jolie's tiger, which just came off as a little flat and bland. I'm not surprised at all that this opened so well, and I'd predict that it continiues to gross well for a few more weekends to come.

"George Lucas will order the deluxe veggie burger." hehe, on a serious note deluxe veggie burgers are delicious.
As for Panda I saw it over the weekend and I was surprised that I liked it. I wouldn't say it's the greatest animated movie out there, but worst case scenario you won't regret watching it.
