  • Zootopia 2 slipped to third place in China for the weekend but has amassed about $621 million there, remaining one of the market’s top imports this season.
  • Some outlets claim Zootopia 2 has edged past Avengers: Endgame in China and topped roughly $1.7 billion worldwide, though other trackers have not confirmed those marks.
