'Kung Fu Panda 4' and 'Dune: Part Two' are currently dominating the North American box office, maintaining their lead over Lionsgate's latest release, 'Arthur the King,' which opened to $3 million from 3,003 locations. The Mark Wahlberg-led drama is anticipated to earn less than $8 million over the weekend, securing the third spot on the domestic charts. Despite mixed reviews, the film has received a commendable 'A' grade from Cinema Score, indicating positive audience reception.
'Arthur the King' is based on the true story of a mountain climber who embarks on a 435-mile journey through the Dominican Republic with a stray dog by his side. Starring Wahlberg alongside Simu Liu, Juliet Rylance, and Nathalie Emmanuel, the film aims to replicate the success of 'Dog,' which opened to $14 million earlier this year and went on to gross $61 million.
