Zootopia 2 China Box Office: Disney film takes 2nd spot among highest-grossing Hollywood films, only behind Avengers: Endgame

Zootopia 2 is wreaking havoc at the box office. The animated film is performing extremely well in the US and in global markets, especially in China. The movie has grossed over USD 393.6 million in its 10 days of theatrical run in China, adding an impressive USD 59 million to the tally on its second Saturday. The movie has surpassed the lifetime earnings of Avengers: Infinity War (USD 359.5M), Furious 7 (USD 390.9M) and The Fate Of The Furious (USD 392.8M), and emerged as the second-highest-grossing Hollywood movie of all time at the Chinese box office. 

The movie has already fetched USD 11.4 million from the pre-sales for Second Sunday, which is the biggest advance booking ever. The movie has already entered the USD 400 million club, including its record pre-bookings for the Second Sunday. The movie is expected to record another solid day at the box office today. 

Based on the present trends, the movie will close its second weekend in China by adding USD 110-120 million to the tally, registering a drop of nearly 45 to 50 percent from the opening weekend. Zootopia 2 is only behind Avengers: Endgame in China. For the record, the MCU film is ruling at the top with a sum of USD 632.1 million at the Chinese box office. It is to be seen whether Zootopia 2 can surpass Endgame or not. 

Top 10 highest-grossing Hollywood films ever in China: 

Avengers: Endgame – USD 632.1 million
Zootopia 2 – USD 393.6 million
The Fate of the Furious – USD 392.8 million
Furious 7 – USD 390.9 million
Avengers: Infinity War – USD 359.5 million
Transformers: Age of Extinction – USD 301 million
Aquaman – USD 298 million
Venom – USD 269.2 million
Avatar – USD 261.1 million
Avatar: The Way of Water – USD 246 million

The worldwide cume of Zootopia 2 has already crossed the USD 700 million mark. Of this, it smashed USD 200 million in its domestic markets alone. It is now heading towards the USD 800 million mark. The movie is certain to enter the USD 1 billion mark. There is even a possibility of it becoming the highest-grossing Hollywood film of 2025 and crossing the USD 1.5 million mark by the end of its theatrical run. The question is how far it can go from there on!

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau go Instagram official with Tokyo photos, confirm long-rumored romance

Pop star Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have finally confirmed their long-rumored relationship after appearing together on Instagram for the first time. The 41-year-old singer shared a set of photos from her recent Tokyo visit, and Trudeau featured prominently in the post, turning ongoing speculation into a moment that fans quickly labelled a “hard launch.”

Katy Perry posted 13 images on Saturday, writing, “tokyo times on tour and more.” The photos included cozy selfies and candid moments during her stop in Japan for the Lifetimes Tour, which highlights her latest album. This is the first time the pair have appeared together on either of their main social media accounts, making the upload significant for followers watching the rumors since July.

Katy Perry shares Tokyo photos with Justin Trudeau

Justin Trudeau appeared in several of the carousel images. One selfie showed the pair smiling closely, standing against a bright autumn backdrop. A short video included in the post captured a warm moment of Trudeau watching Perry as she tried local dishes, with his arm resting behind her chair. Another picture featured them at the popular digital Team Labs exhibit, surrounded by illuminated art.

Their time in Tokyo also involved an official event. Earlier this week, Perry joined Trudeau at a diplomatic luncheon held for former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his wife, Yuko. Perry wore a sleek green two-piece with black tights, a turtleneck and boots, while Trudeau opted for a classic grey suit. In the official photos, Perry placed a hand behind Trudeau as they posed with the Kishidas.

Talk around their possible romance first surfaced in July when the two were spotted dining together in Montréal. Trudeau later attended the Canadian leg of Perry’s sold-out Lifetimes Tour, further increasing interest in their personal connection.

Perry ended her long relationship with actor Orlando Bloom in June 2025 after seven years together and six years of engagement. Their representatives confirmed that they continue to co-parent their daughter, Daisy Dove, who was born in August 2020.
