On the evening of November 25, 2025, Maoyan reported ticket presales topped 310 million yuan (about $43.7 million), the highest-ever for an imported animated film in the Chinese mainland.
After a nine-year wait since the original, fans are buzzing to reunite with Officer Judy Hopps and sly fox Nick Wilde. Nostalgia, smart local marketing, and Disney’s global star power created the perfect storm.
Officially opening today, November 26, 2025, Zootopia 2 is set to dominate the weekend box office. Will it keep this record-breaking momentum rolling? 🎥✨
This presale frenzy also highlights the Chinese mainland’s booming appetite for premium international animation, hinting at big opportunities for studios in Asia’s top box office market.
