"Zootopia 2 (called Zootropolis 2 in some European countries), a hotly anticipated and widely marketed sequel to 2016's Zootopia, was released in China last week. In its first seven days, it made about 2bn yuan (213m) in ticket sales, making it one of the best-performing films of the year. On its fourth day of release, it broke the single-day earnings record for an imported film, surpassing the previous record-holder, Avengers: Endgame."
"Chinese cinemagoers and critics say the film's feelgood energy overrides other factors, especially in a challenging economic and geopolitical environment. I am grateful that Disney is still willing to present stories like this in such a divided era, wrote one user on Douban, a Chinese review website. If this film had been released 10 years ago, I would have said Disney was merely serving another plate of exquisite, old-fashioned dessert."
Zootopia 2 opened in China and earned about 2bn yuan (213m) in ticket sales during its first seven days. The film broke the single-day earnings record for an imported film on its fourth day, surpassing Avengers: Endgame. The sequel overtook the original Zootopia's prior box-office record for a Hollywood animated film in China. The film performed better in Chinese theatres than in North America during its first week. Domestic Chinese productions have recently dominated local audiences, making the sequel's success notable given strict import controls. The character Gary De'Snake drew particular popularity, and viewers praised the film's feelgood energy amid economic and geopolitical strains.
