Zootopia 2’s Billion-Dollar Box Office Roar: How Disney’s Sequel Still Tops Charts in Its Third Weekend
Disney’s animated powerhouse Zootopia 2 has officially joined the very exclusive $1 billion club at the global box office and it’s not even tired yet. After a blazing launch and incredible worldwide receipts, the sequel has stayed strong, holding the No. 1 spot in its third weekend at the U.S. box office with $25 million. That’s a box office story with more staying power than most holiday leftovers.
When Zootopia 2 first hit theaters, it didn’t come in quietly. The sequel opened to one of the biggest global animated launches of 2025, racking up hundreds of millions in just the first few days. In fact, it became the fastest PG-rated film animated or otherwise to hit the $1 billion milestone worldwide in roughly 17 days. That puts it in rarified company alongside blockbuster hits and cements Disney’s sequel as a true cinematic juggernaut.
A huge part of this global success came from international markets, especially China, where the film set new records and grossed extraordinary ticket sales early on. This helped push the worldwide tally past $1 billion quicker than many analysts expected.
Back home in the U.S. and Canada, Zootopia 2 continues to attract audiences even three weekends after opening. With about $25 million in ticket sales this weekend, it stayed at the top of the box office chart — a rare feat for an animated release so far into its run.
This kind of box office longevity matters, because it shows word-of-mouth and repeat viewing still drive ticket sales. Many summer and holiday blockbusters see steep declines after opening weekend, but Zootopia 2 has stayed relatively robust. Whether you’re a casual moviegoer or a studio exec crunching ROI spreadsheets, Zootopia 2’s run has delivered both profits and proof that Disney’s animated hits remain a force to be reckoned with.
