Disney's film also establishes itself as the biggest global and international animated release in history
Disney's highly anticipated sequel, 'Zootopia 2', is having an incredible box office performance. According to data collected by Box Office Mojo, this weekend it closed with a gross of $556 million, a figure that places it as the fourth highest global premiere of all time.
This impressive achievement places it among the box office elite, second only to giants like Avengers: Endgame, Avengers: Infinity War, and Spider-Man: No Way Home.
With this overwhelming debut, 'Zootopia 2' not only joins a company of films that have surpassed or approached $2 billion, but has also set several specific records. The film is established as the biggest global and international animated release in history, as well as the biggest worldwide opening of any film in 2025.
An Unprecedented Success
The breakdown of this feat is equally remarkable. The film grossed $156 million in the domestic market (United States and Canada) and an astounding $400 million internationally. This success confirms the enduring power of the franchise and the excellent reception from global audiences.
The territory that decisively propelled this record was China. 'Zootopia 2' grossed $272 million in just five days, achievements that make it:
The biggest opening for a non-local animated film in history, the second-biggest non-local debut after Avengers: Endgame, and the sixth-biggest opening of all time in the country, including local productions, according to data published in Variety.
Furthermore, in just a few days, the sequel has already surpassed the total box office gross in China of the first film, 'Zootopia' ($236 million). This explosive growth is partly attributed to the increasing popularity of the intellectual property following the opening of 'Zootopia Land' at Shanghai Disneyland.
Other markets that contributed significantly to the success were France ($14.6 million), Korea ($13.7 million), and Mexico ($10 million).4 million) and Germany (8.8 million).
Directed by Jared Bush and Byron Howard, and featuring the voices of Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman, Shakira, and more, 'Zootopia 2' has proven to be a global phenomenon. With positive reviews and exceptional word of mouth, the film is poised to dominate the box office for the rest of the year.
