Los Angeles ? Jack Black’s Po the panda outgunned Adam Sandler’s Zo the hairdresser.

Black’s cartoon comedy “Kung Fu Panda” pulled in $60 million in ticket sales to debut as the weekend’s No. 1 movie, while Sandler’s salon romp “You Don’t Mess With the Zohan” opened in second place with $40 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.

DreamWorks Animation’s “Panda” and Sony’s “Zohan” bumped off the previous weekend’s leader, the Warner Bros. chick flick “Sex and the City,” which slipped to fourth place with $21.3 million.

Paramount’s “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” was No. 3 with $22.8 million, raising its three-week domestic total to $253 million.

Two strong weekends in a row enabled Hollywood to chip away at its box office deficit compared to 2007, a record year for revenues.

“This month offers the marketplace the opportunity to catch up with last year,” said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Media By Numbers. “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.”

Receipts are at $3.8 billion this year, off 1.5 percent from 2007, while attendance is down 4.3 percent.
