Zootopia 2 is achieving monumental box office results in China, becoming the first Hollywood film to ever break the $100M mark in a single day in that market. According to regional reports, the animated sequel delivered an astonishing performance on Saturday at 8:30 p.m. local time, when it officially surpassed the $100 million threshold and recorded the second largest single-day total ever worldwide. Analysts point out that this figure is greater than the $97.5 million pure Friday opening day of Avengers: Endgame in the United States.
Further data confirms the film’s dramatic climb by earning $104.6 million on Saturday, which stands as the largest single-day gross ever for any non-Chinese film in the region. This surge was fueled by a record 357,000 screenings, with strong last-minute ticket purchases contributing heavily to its quick momentum. By the close of its fourth day, Zootopia 2 had reached a cumulative total of $198.5 million in China, already sailing past F9‘s $136.1 million start and quickly approaching Avengers: Infinity War‘s $200.5 million opening figure with a full twenty-four hours still to go.
Saturday alone saw over 18.5 million tickets sold, the highest count for any Hollywood movie in Chinese box office history and second overall only to Detective Chinatown 3. As industry observers noted, Saturday’s China earnings will exceed the film’s entire five-day opening weekend in North America, underscoring the enormous scale of its overseas performance.
Current projections suggest the film is heading for a $205 million to $220 million three-day opening in China and a possible $260 million to $275 million five-day debut. This trajectory positions it to easily beat the post-pandemic record held by F9 and potentially overtake Endgame‘s $178 million three-day weekend to become the highest-grossing weekend ever for a Hollywood title in the country.
Zootopia 2, released worldwide on November 26, 2025, continues the partnership of Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde as they investigate a major conspiracy tied to Zootopia’s history. Featuring positive critical feedback and widespread international interest, the film now appears to be on course for a worldwide opening approaching $500M, driven significantly by its unparalleled success in China.
