Los Angeles, California (CaymanMama.com) — Jack Black’s cartoon movie “Kung Fu Panda” raked in ticket sales of $60 million and debuted as number one movie and Adam Sandler’s “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan” was second with ticket sales of $40 million according to the reports from Studio.

Both the movies promise a big weekend. According to the industry estimate, top 12 movies made more than $172 million that was more than 32% in comparison to the last year when “Ocean’s Thirteen” made around $36 million. “Sex and the City” made the revenues of more than $99 million, just short than $100 million. “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” was adjudged as the number three movie and made more than $22 million while increasing its three weeks income to $253 million.

According to the president at Media by Numbers, Paul Dergarabedian, “This month offers the marketplace the opportunity to catch up with last year. Last year’s June was not as strong as expected and this year’s may be stronger, so we’re definitely narrowing the gap in terms of revenue and attendance.”

Jack Black has done the voice over of “Kung Fu Panda” for Po, a panda that transforms into martial artist. The voice over includes artists like Angelina Jolie, Lucy Liu, Jackie Chan and Dustin Hoffman. The movie was instant hit among young children and families while older people formed 71% of total audience.
