You might have been forgiven for thinking that Jack Black’s animated portly ursine martial arts enthusiast was a one-off gag. But DreamWorks’ Kung Fu Panda franchise is now up to its fourth instalment and shows no sign of running out of steam. That chart-topping £5m opening weekend actually puts it behind the first and second films, and had it not been for paid previews Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire would have won the battle. Indeed, the latest monster smackdown is performing well ahead of expectations in the UK and internationally, which virtually guarantees further monster-on-monster carnage in years to come. The only film in the UK top five that isn’t a franchise entry or sequel is the Malayalam-language survival drama Aadujeevitham (aka The Goat Life). Meanwhile at the foot of the chart, Migration has finally crossed the £20m mark
