Zootopia 2 Shatters Records In China: Becomes First Hollywood Film To Hit $100 Million In a Single Day
Mumbai, November 29 - Disney's animated cop buddy film Zootopia 2 has delivered a historic milestone at the China box office, rewriting the record books with an unprecedented performance. On Saturday, the film scored a staggering $104.80 million, becoming the first Hollywood film ever to cross the $100 million single-day mark in the territory. This explosive turnout has sent shockwaves across the global box office landscape, reaffirming China's unmatched potential for major cinematic spectacles. It has sold 18.5 million tickets on Saturday, which is the highest single-day count for a Hollywood film in the market.

Marvel's Avengers: Endgame, which earlier held the Hollywood single-day record in China with $79 million ($107+ million with previews), has now been surpassed. The emphatic victory makes Zootopia 2 the highest single-day opener for a Hollywood film in China's history. In just four days, Zootopia 2 has already accumulated a massive $200 million, positioning itself as one of the fastest-grossing Hollywood films ever released in the market. Trade experts note that this surge is driven by powerful brand recall from the 2016 original, strong word-of-mouth from family audiences, and pent-up demand for high-quality animated entertainment.

It will already become the biggest Hollywood grosser in China in the post-pandemic era, beating Avatar: The Way of Water's $247 million total. Stay tuned...
