What the report says
Two extensions, one long run
The first extension was announced around August 12 and ran the release through September 17; the second was announced September 11 and extends it to October 17, 2026 — covering the National Day holiday window. Both were producer announcements relayed by Chinese media.
What the ranking means
At 1.985 billion yuan the film passed Boonie Bears: Time Twist, placing it third among Chinese domestic animations (behind Nezha 2 and Nezha 1) and fourth among all animated films released in Chinese theatres. All top-three domestic animation slots now sit with Chengdu-made productions.
Why "reported", not "confirmed"
The ranking figures come from media reports citing Lighthouse data rather than a public leaderboard this site can link directly; the cumulative total is verifiable on the Maoyan public film page. Treat both as dated snapshots while the run continues to October 17.
