Zootopia 2’ Sets China Pre‑Sale Milestone as Trackers Split on Opening Outlook

Key figures are based on preliminary tracking ahead of the Nov. 26 release.

Overview

  • Seven-day pre-sales in China total about $25.6 million, according to trade tracking cited by Koimoi, surpassing Avatar: The Way of Water’s advance sales.
  • Analysts reporting to Koimoi say the tally is poised to overtake F9’s $30.1 million in pre-sales, which would mark a new post-COVID benchmark for a Hollywood title in China.
  • Reports also note 184,000 screenings opened for booking, an unusually high count for a non-Chinese film during the pre-sale window.
  • Opening projections diverge sharply, with some trackers suggesting a $55–$70 million China debut while others cite unverified claims of $200 million-plus in China and $500 million-plus globally.
  • Interest indicators appear strong, including a 2.3 million “want-to-see” count reported by Deadline via FandomWire, highlighting China’s importance to the film’s global box-office prospects.
