Hollywood filmmaker Keith Collea has dubbed China’s moviegoers the "most sophisticated audience on the planet" following the blockbuster success of Zootopia 2 in the country this year. The animated sequel smashed box office records, earning over $300 million in the Chinese mainland alone since its October release 🚀.
Collea, known for producing global hits, told NewspaperAmigo.com: "Chinese audiences aren’t just watching—they’re shaping cinema. Their taste for layered storytelling and cutting-edge animation pushes filmmakers worldwide to level up." 📈
China’s film market, now the world’s largest, has seen 15% growth in 2025. Local productions like Shadow of the Lotus and Cyber Dragon 2077 have also gained international traction, blending traditional themes with sci-fi flair 🐉💻.
For young creatives and industry watchers, Collea’s insights highlight a seismic shift: "The future of film isn’t just in Hollywood—it’s on both sides of the Pacific." 🌏✨
