NZ box office report: Kung Fu Panda 4 beats Godzilla, Kong, a civil war and wicked letters

Our weekly guide to what’s happening at the Aotearoa box office – thanks to Numero

Animated fourquel Kung Fu Panda 4 moves into top spot this week, thanks to moviegoers’ love of its combo of panda/kung fu/animation/Jack Black (and it also being the school holidays). Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire drops back to second place, ahead of much less kid-friendly new release Civil War and the inappropriate-for-young-ears Wicked Little Letters.
