Walt Disney’s animated film “Zootopia 2” has made a significant splash at the box office, generating an impressive $556 million in global ticket sales during the U.S. Thanksgiving weekend. This strong performance marks a vital start to Hollywood’s holiday moviegoing season.
Notably, nearly half of the film’s earnings from Wednesday through Sunday originated in China, highlighting a positive shift in the reception of Hollywood productions in a market that has often favored local films. The film’s success in China reached a remarkable $272 million, making “Zootopia 2” the highest-grossing animated movie in the country, surpassing the record previously held by the original “Zootopia,” released in 2016.
This success not only demonstrates the enduring popularity of the franchise but also suggests a burgeoning acceptance of animated films from Hollywood among Chinese audiences, paving the way for more collaborative opportunities in the future.
