Zootopia 2 Box Office: Hits $1.137 Billion, Tops Original and 2025 Hollywood Releases

Following its record-breaking $1 billion milestone last week, Disney's Zootopia 2 has surged to $1.137 billion worldwide after three weeks, surpassing the 2016 original's total and claiming 2025's highest-grossing Hollywood film spot. China leads international success with over $500 million.

Updated Global Totals

Zootopia 2 has grossed an estimated $1.1367 billion globally post-third weekend, up from the $1 billion mark achieved in just 17 days—the fastest for any PG-rated or Hollywood animated film. This eclipses the original Zootopia's $1.025 billion lifetime haul and positions it as 2025's top Hollywood earner (though trailing China's Ne Zha 2 overall at $1.9 billion). North America contributes $259 million, with international markets at $877.7 million.

Third Weekend Breakdown

Domestically, the film earned $26.3 million—a 39% drop—maintaining strength. Overseas, it added $131.1 million across 52 markets, with holds of 13-35% in majors like Japan, Australia, and the UK.

International Dominance

China delivers $502.4 million—the second-best for any MPA release there (behind Avengers: Endgame). Key markets: France ($36.4M), Korea ($35M), Japan ($27.7M), Mexico ($24.9M). IMAX global: $56.6 million, second for animated studio releases to top $50 million.

This performance highlights Disney's family animation prowess amid competition from upcoming titles like Avatar: Fire and Ash.
