"Disney's 'Zootopia' Gets Two-Week Extension Of Its Fabulous China Theatrical Run"
China’s Film Bureau has given a last-minute reprieve to Zootopia, authorizing it to run for two additional weeks beyond its original 30-day slot in PRC theaters, which was to have ended on April 3rd. The extension will enable the hugely popular Disney animated feature to screen throughout the QingMing (“Pure Brightness”) Festival holiday, which typically sees a boost in movie-going.
Successful in China beyond even the most wildly optimistic predictions, Zootopia has smashed records for animated films there with $204 million in gross box office receipts so far.

I had no idea that most movies can only run in Chinese theaters for 30 days. It's nice that Zootopia was given a 2 week extension!
