Kung Fu Soccer Rockets Past $200M in China as Chow's Return Dominates

Stephen Chow’s Kung Fu Soccer, a Shaolin Soccer spinoff directed by Chow (who does not appear on screen), rode FIFA World Cup fever to a strong second weekend in China, adding $73.7 million and boosting its nine‑day total to $214.3 million (RMB 1.46 billion). Analysts raised full‑run expectations to about $441 million RMB, with the film aiming to approach Chow’s personal box‑office peak; a North American release is expected later this year as it faces competition from other titles, signaling a buoyant start to China’s summer box office and Chow’s continuing comeback.
