Zootopia 2 Surges Toward $1 Billion Global Box Office After Second Weekend Success

Published on 12/11/25 by Craig Smith

Disney’s Zootopia 2 continues to outperform expectations at the global box office, closing in on the rare $1 billion milestone after its second weekend of release. The animated sequel has amassed significant momentum since its late-November debut, with recent estimates placing its worldwide gross near $956 million, fueled by robust international performance and steady domestic receipts.

Industry trackers report that Zootopia 2 brought in approximately $43 million domestically over its second weekend, finishing second in the U.S. box office, while international territories contributed roughly $219 million during the same period. These figures bring the film’s total global haul to nearly $916 million, positioning it among the year’s top Hollywood performers.

The sequel’s success has been particularly pronounced in China, where it has become one of the most successful Hollywood animated releases of all time, contributing substantially to its near-billion-dollar total. Analysts note that strong audience enthusiasm abroad has been a key driver behind the film’s accelerated climb.

Zootopia 2 follows protagonists Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde as they tackle a complex new case in the vibrant animal metropolis of Zootopia. Built on the critical and commercial foundation of the original 2016 hit, the sequel has been credited with revitalizing Disney Animation’s box office performance during the typically competitive holiday season.

With continued theatrical presence through the Christmas and New Year period and projections indicating it could surpass $1 billion this week, Zootopia 2 stands as one of Disney’s most successful animated releases of 2025.
