Last night’s previews for “Kung-Fu Panda 4” resulted in receipts totaling $3.8 million. Almost everyone is predicting a $50 million 3-day opening for the animated sequel. In fact, we might get two $50 million grossing films this weekend. Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part II” has some major legs — it made $6.4 million last night and cracked the $100 million domestic mark.
Edward Berger seems to have settled on what comes next. His Lance Armstrong biopic, starring Austin Butler, is now holding casting calls, with production eyed for January.
