Overview
- The film acts as a legacy sequel to both the original series and the 2010 reboot, featuring Ben Wang’s Li Fong trained by Jackie Chan’s Mr. Han and Ralph Macchio’s Daniel LaRusso.
- Audiences gave the film an A- CinemaScore despite critics’ mixed reviews, fueling strong word-of-mouth.
- It has grossed over $50 million worldwide against a $45 million budget, recovering production costs through box office and non-theatrical revenues.
- Jaden Smith’s Dre Parker remains canon but is absent on screen, and Daniel LaRusso’s role is limited to a brief cameo.
- Major markets such as China have yet to open, and the film could exceed $100 million globally if it gains traction there.
