‘KUNG FU PANDA 4’ trailer made 142M views on its debut day.
Outperformed ‘THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE’, ‘MINIONS 2’ and ‘SING 2’.
“Kung Fu Panda 4” kicked off with a mighty hi-yah! on Wednesday, as the trailer for the animated comedy racked up more than 142 million views across channels.
TikTok was a major contributor to the karate-chopping trailer’s terrific debut, which outperformed comparable Universal titles “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” “Minions 2,” “Sing 2” and “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish,” according to the studio.
“Kung Fu Panda 4” trailer hype falls near other successful major-studio movies in recent months, including “Inside Out 2” — which marked the biggest animated trailer launch in Disney history with 157 million views (78 million of which came from TikTok) — and “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,” which earned a combined 100 million views for Disney and 20th Studios during the film’s marketing launch period.
Ke Huy Quan and Viola Davis join the cast alongside returnees Dustin Hoffman, James Hong, Bryan Cranston and Ian McShane. The film will debut March 8th.
The news comes as Jack Black revealed earlier today that it has been “radio silence” from Universal Pictures in regards to a “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” sequel thus far. Black’s song for the film “Peaches” was recently confirmed to potentially qualify for an Oscar nomination.
