Zootopia 2 is making headlines all over with its extraordinary box office collection during the opening weekend. In China, it has set a new benchmark, surpassing Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Endgame for a record single-day gross for non-Chinese movies at the Chinese box office. Scroll below for the numbers.
Zootopia is definitely the biggest Hollywood film at the Chinese box office. The animated sequel has become the only animation besides Ne Zha 2 in history to collect over $100 million in a single day. The pre-sales are also insane, and the exhibitors are benefiting from this outstanding performance.
Beats Avengers: Endgame’s single-day gross in China to set a new record
According to trade analyst Luiz Fernando’s report, Avengers: Endgame held the record for the biggest single-day gross ever for non-Chinese movies in China. Zootopia 2 has beaten that record with its $104.6 million collection on Saturday. It has witnessed an insane 162.8% surge from Thursday. It has beaten Avengers: Endgame’s $79 million pure Wednesday opening day in China and its $97.5 million pure Friday opening day in North America.
The Zootopia sequel has recorded the second-biggest single-day gross worldwide. Only Avengers: Endgame’s $109.3 million first Saturday in North America stands above this in Hollywood’s record books.
2nd animated movie to gross $100 million in a single day!
Ne Zha 2, released earlier this year, is the only animated movie in cinematic history to gross over $100 million in a single day. Now, the Zootopia sequel has joined Ne Zha 2 in achieving this feat. It will be another mega sensation after Ne Zha 2 and Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle.
