Kung Fu Soccer kicks box office records in China, US release unclear

Stephen Chow's wild comedy sequel Kung Fu Soccer is scoring a knockout in its home country. The film, a spin-off from his hit Shaolin Soccer, has smashed past $200 million at the Chinese box office, per JoBlo, reviving the summer season in a big way.

The release cleverly capitalized on the World Cup and marks the 25th anniversary of the original film. MovieWeb reports the sequel has shattered expectations with its record-breaking haul.

But fans stateside are left wondering when they'll get a chance to see it. Neither outlet had any word on a US release date, leaving audiences waiting for their own shot at the goal.
