Zootopia 2’ Reclaims No. 1 in China as Global Gross Nears $1.5 Billion

A sustained China run with strong holiday holds propelled the sequel to Disney Animation’s all‑time box office lead.

  • Variety reports the film returned to No. 1 in China over Jan. 2–4 with RMB121.5 million ($17.1 million), lifting its China cume to RMB4.25 billion (about $598 million).
  • Most trackers place the worldwide total around $1.47–$1.48 billion, which makes it Disney Animation’s highest‑grossing animated feature after surpassing Frozen 2.
  • The movie became the fastest PG‑rated release to reach $1 billion globally, hitting the milestone in 17 days.
