Zootopia 2 Reclaims China Box Office Lead Ahead of Lunar New Year
Zootopia 2 tops China’s box office again as holdovers dominate just before Lunar New Year.
Zootopia 2 rose back to No. 1 at the China box office for the Jan. 30–Feb. 1 frame, pulling in RMB 29.1 million ($4.1 million) and lifting its cumulative total to RMB 4.45 billion ($627.3 million). The weekend market remained muted as cinemas brace for the Lunar New Year holiday, with holdovers pushing most of the revenue across the chart. The performance highlights the continued draw of family-friendly titles even as audiences adjust to seasonal schedules. In a period traditionally shaped by holiday releases, the top film's steady earnings suggest that established favorites still guide box office momentum before the peak holiday week. The quieter weekend underscores how late-January/early-February windows can set the tone for the upcoming Lunar New Year surge, with moviegoers balancing festive celebrations and cinema outings. As studios monitor early numbers, Zootopia 2’s ability to stay atop the charts signals resilience in the domestic market for animation-driven titles. Beijing’s theaters, like others across the country, are adapting to the shifting attendance patterns that come with the holiday stretch and ongoing competitive pressure from both domestic and international projects.
