标题：Zootopia 2 bucks trend for Hollywood releases in China as it breaks records for foreign animation.

Now China’s highest-grossing foreign animation, the films, known as Zootropolis in some countries, comes amid a boom for domestic productions.

正文：A comedy about animal cops investigating a reptilian mystery has become the highest-grossing foreign animated film ever in China, bucking the trend of declining interest in overseas productions that has resulted in Hollywood films struggling in the Chinese box office. Zootopia 2 (called Zootropolis 2 in some European countries), a hotly anticipated and widely marketed sequel to 2016’s Zootopia, was released in China last week. In its first seven days, it made about 2bn yuan (£213m) in ticket sales, making it one of the best-performing films of the year. On its fourth day of release, it broke the single-day earnings record for an imported film, surpassing the previous record-holder, Avengers: Endgame.

知识点：buck the trend v. /bʌk ðə trend/ to go against the general trend or pattern. 逆势而行；与普遍趋势相反

e.g. Despite the economic downturn, their company managed to buck the trend by increasing profits.

尽管经济下滑，他们的公司通过增加利润逆势而行。
