As 2025 wraps up, the Chinese mainland film market continues to shine bright! 🎬
By the afternoon of Friday, December 5, Zootopia 2 had raked in 2.28 billion yuan (around $323 million) at the box office in the Chinese mainland. That's huge! 💥
On November 29, the animated sequel smashed records, pulling in over 738 million yuan in a single day—beating Avengers: Endgame's record and becoming the highest single-day earner for any imported film in the Chinese mainland.
Just a few days ago, on Wednesday, December 3, Zootopia 2 crossed the 2 billion yuan mark, cementing its place as the top-grossing imported animated film ever in the Chinese mainland market—now the film's biggest box-office territory worldwide, even more than North America.
But it’s not just about tickets. Zootopia 2 has sparked a wave of IP-driven consumption. Before its release, it teamed up with over 60 brands—from designer toys and beverages to children's apparel, home appliances, cars, and smartphones—showing how movies can power a whole ecosystem of cool collabs. 🤝🎉
With 2025 closing, it's clear: the Chinese mainland remains a powerhouse for global cinema and pop culture. What record will movies break next? Stay tuned! 👀
