Zootopia 2 Soars to Box Office Heights
The animated sequel, Zootopia 2, has officially claimed the title of the highest-grossing domestic release of 2025, amassing an impressive 4.2 million at the U.S. box office. This remarkable achievement not only surpasses the previous leader, A Minecraft Movie, but also marks a significant milestone for The Walt Disney Company, celebrating one of its most successful theatrical ventures in recent years.
As it reaches the 91-day mark in theaters, Zootopia 2 has garnered:
- 4.2 million domestically
- .425 billion internationally
- .85 billion in total worldwide
Of particular note, 7.9 million of the domestic earnings were generated in 2025 alone, solidifying its status as the box office champion of the year. Additionally, Zootopia 2 boasts the distinction of being The Walt Disney Company’s second highest Thanksgiving opening ever, trailing only behind Moana 2. Disney continues to dominate the Thanksgiving box office, holding nine of the top ten openings in this holiday period.
Beyond its commercial triumph, Zootopia 2 has received widespread acclaim, achieving a remarkable 96% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. It has also garnered recognition from major animation awards, including nominations from the Academy Awards, Golden Globes, BAFTAs, and Critics’ Choice Awards.
Both Zootopia 2 and A Minecraft Movie have followed similar trajectories in theaters, each taking approximately three months to reach their final box office tallies. However, Zootopia 2 reached its impressive milestone in just 91 days, demonstrating the effectiveness of strong marketing strategies and the enduring appeal of family-friendly films.
The original Zootopia was already a cultural and commercial sensation, seamlessly blending buddy-cop humor with insightful social commentary. Its sequel has successfully attracted families, encouraged repeat viewings from adults, and resonated with international audiences once again.
For Disney, this achievement signifies more than mere bragging rights. In an era marked by uncertainty in the theatrical landscape, Zootopia 2 reinforces the notion that animated event films can still capture the imagination and dominate box office charts worldwide. The film’s ability to outpace a major video game adaptation like A Minecraft Movie also highlights a broader trend: original animated universes, particularly those featuring beloved legacy characters, continue to be formidable contenders at the box office.
