Disney’s highly anticipated sequel, Zootopia 2, has roared into theaters and made genuine Hollywood history. The animated film became the first Hollywood film ever to cross the $100 million mark in a single day in the crucial China market, shocking box office analysts. This unprecedented feat secured the Zootopia 2 Single Day Record for a non-local film in the territory.
The sequel earned an estimated $104.8 million on Saturday, November 29, 2025, completely shattering the previous single-day record for a foreign film in China. This enormous turnout dethroned Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame, which held the record for six years. The stunning performance of the animated buddy-cop comedy instantly set a new benchmark for global blockbusters seeking success abroad.
The record-breaking China haul drove the film to a colossal global debut. In its five-day extended opening, Zootopia 2 tallied an estimated worldwide total of $556 million, making it the highest international opening ever for an animated movie and the fourth-highest global debut of any film, regardless of genre, in history.
The Zootopia 2 Single Day Record proves the enduring power of Disney Animation and the massive nostalgia for the original 2016 film. By surpassing expectations and breaking a record previously held by an Avengers film, Zootopia 2 solidifies its position as the biggest Hollywood film of the year and assures a challenging run for the coveted $1 billion mark.
