Outperforms Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle at the same point
Zootopia 2 began its pre-sales in China, trailing behind Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle by $1 million. The Disney animation has outgrossed the Japanese anime movie’s collection at the same point in time. It is currently tracking to score more than $30 million in pre-sales and could beat F9‘s pre-sales collection post-COVID for Hollywood.
Opening weekend projection for Zootopia 2 in China
The sequel could even beat Avatar: The Way of Water’s $57.1 million and Godzilla Vs Kong’s $69.2 million opening weekend collections as the 2nd biggest opening weekend for Hollywood films in the post-pandemic era. However, it might not beat F9’s $136.1 million opening weekend at the Chinese box office. Since Zootopia 2 has a five-day opening, it might even challenge F9’s opening in China. It will be released in China on Wednesday, November 25.
