Zootopia 2 vs Detective Chinatown 3 and Full River Red
After Endgame gets dusted attention will shift back to local movies as Zootopia 2 is still in with a shot of surpassing Detective Chinatown 3 and Full River Red for 8th and 7th on the all time highest grossing list in China.
It needs another ¥63M/$9M to surpass DC3 and another ¥84M/$12M to surpass Full River Red. Both very much so achieavable.

Release Schedule:
A table including upcoming movies in the next month alongside trailers linked in the name of the movie, Want To See data from both Maoyan and Taopiaopiao alongside the Gender split and genre.
Remember Want To See is not pre-sales. Its just an anticipation metric. A checkbox of sorts saying your interested in an upcoming movie.
Not all movies are included since a lot are just too small to be worth covering.

Spring Festival 2026 Lineup:
With 20 days to go the Spring Festival lineup is now complete barring any suprise late addition.
6 movies will enter the ring this year.
Pegasus 3 will be heading into the Spring Festival as the headline movie and the big favorite. The sequel to Pegasus 2 which made $400M+ in the Spring Festival 2 years ago with returning director Han Han and returning lead Shen Teng will look to repeat if not improve on the success of the 2nd part.
Director Zhang Yimou returns to the Holiday season after his successful Article 20($340M) in 2024 and Full River Red($670M+) in 2023 with Silent Awakening. A National Security-Themed movie. While unlikely to challenge for the victory this movie has a decent shot at taking 2nd place.
The Boonie Bears franchise as has been the case for the last 12 years returns to the Spring Festival with Boonie Bears: The Hidden Protector. The new entry in the $1B+ franchise will look to improve on last years $118M and push the franchise back closer if not over the $200M mark it surpassed in 2024 and 2023.
Blades of the Guardians starring Wu Jing and Jet Li meanwhile will try to revive the popularity of the martial arts genre and aim to improve upon the result and especialy reception of last years Condor Heroes which failed to break $100M. This and Boonie Bears will in all likelyhood fight for 3rd place.
Per Aspera Ad Astra as the only Sci-Fi blockbuster will try to make itself stand out with cool visuals and a unique theme. However its very likely this ends up being the cannon fodder of the lineup.
And lastly Panda Plan 2 or as its officialy called Panda Plan: The Magical Tribe. I don't see this doing partiuraly well either but it could tempt in some families.

Finally, some legs /s
Monstrous run.
Will comfortably finish as 7th highest grossing film all time.
Probably precluded from #6 (Wandering Earth) estimated ~35 million USD or **$667 million**
No words for Zootopia 2. Just mind blowing, fantasticly fabulous, incredible and just insane. Now is endgame and next will be Full river red.
645M+ final…, 650M+ possible.
