The popular animated film Zootopia 2 from Walt Disney Company achieved a very strong and record-breaking opening, reaching an astonishing $556 million in global box office sales. This major success includes $96 million in revenue from North America alone in the opening weekend, reflecting the high popularity of this sequel.
Unprecedented Opening in Animation History
Zootopia 2 earned $156 million in the five-day Thanksgiving holiday, marking the highest international opening in the history of animated films. The movie also ranked as the fourth-best global opening among all films in 2025 and secured the title of the biggest international opening of the year.
Story and Beloved Characters
This animation, made almost ten years after the first installment, continues to follow the story of the rabbit detective Judy Hopps and the small-time hustler fox Nick Wilde. The main characters are voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman, whose performances have helped maintain their attraction and popularity, contributing to the film’s renewed success.

While Zootopia 2 has broken records, another film titled Wicked: For Good managed to earn $62.8 million in North America in its second week and brought its total domestic sales to $270.4 million.
