Dreamworks' new animation Kung Fu Panda, which took Cannes Film Festival by storm, has fought it's way to the top of the American box office.The film, which took $60 million in it's opening weekend revolves around Po the Panda, a lowly waiter in a noodle restaurant, who is a kung fu fanatic but whose shape doesn't exactly lend itself to kung fu fighting.Voiced by funnyman Jack Black Po's defining characteristic appears to be that he is the laziest of all the animals in ancient China.That's a problem because powerful enemies are at the gates, and all hopes have been pinned on a prophesy naming Po as the "Chosen One" to save the day.There was also a second new entry at number two as Adam Sandler's new picture YOu Don't Mess With the Zohan grossed $40 million.Last week's number one Sex and the City: The Movie fell from number one to number four after just one week at the top.Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull fell one place from two to three and The Strangers, starring Liv Tyler, rounded off the top five having fallen to places from number three.1.
