  • China has delivered roughly 2 billion yuan in a week, making the sequel the highest-grossing foreign animated film in the market and setting a single-day record for an import.
  • Japan’s Friday debut generated an estimated $2.8 million and, per industry reporting, marked the biggest opening day for a Disney animation in the country.
  • In North America, the movie is expected to lead the box office for a second weekend, with Deadline projecting around a $50 million frame and a solid hold.
