Zootopia 2' had a record-breaking opening weekend in China, with $272 million in box office revenue. It's a big deal, particularly for a market that has largely cooled to American films.

The film’s runaway success is particularly notable given the waning influence of foreign films in China, the world’s second-largest film market.
