Zootopia 2 has officially become the highest-grossing domestic release of 2025, surpassing A Minecraft Movie, with $424.2M at the domestic box office and $1.85B worldwide ($1.425B international) and counting.

The milestone caps one of the most remarkable animated box office runs in history and marks the second consecutive year that The Walt Disney Studios has delivered the #1 domestic release. Disney has also delivered 3 of the Top 4 Domestic Releases of 2025 (Zootopia 2; Lilo & Stitch; Avatar: Fire and Ash).

Historic Box Office Run

With this achievement, Zootopia 2 now stands as:

• #1 Domestic Release of 2025
• #1 Global & International MPA Release of 2025
• #1 Animated MPA Film of All Time Globally
• #1 MPA Release of All Time in China (surpassing Avengers: Endgame)
• #8 Highest-Grossing MPA Release Ever Globally
• WDAS’s 5th Film to Cross $400M Domestic
• 2nd Highest Thanksgiving Opening Ever Domestically, behind only Moana 2 (Disney holds 9 of the Top 10 Thanksgiving openings of all time)

The film opened to a record-breaking $559.5M five-day global debut, the largest animated opening in history, and became the fastest animated MPA and PG film ever to reach $1B globally, crossing the mark in just 17 days.

Now in its 13th week, the film has remained in the top 10 domestically for 13 consecutive weeks, demonstrating sustained audience demand and exceptional word-of-mouth.

Global Dominance

While its performance in China has been historic, the film’s success extends far beyond any single territory. Even excluding China, Zootopia 2 has outgrossed the entire worldwide total of the original Zootopia underscoring its truly global resonance.

Across markets, audiences connected deeply with the film’s themes of friendship, inclusion, and perseverance—brought to life through cutting-edge animation and the continued evolution of Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde’s partnership.

The film’s cross-generational appeal translated into broad four-quadrant success, strong holds internationally, and sustained support for theaters worldwide.

Creative & Cultural Impact

In addition to its commercial success, Zootopia 2 has earned widespread critical acclaim (96% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes) and recognition across every major awards body for animation, including nominations from the Academy Awards, Golden Globes, BAFTAs, and Critics’ Choice Awards.

The milestone brings the Zootopia franchise to nearly $3B globally, reinforcing the enduring strength of the world created by Jared Bush and Byron Howard, and the continued global reach of Walt Disney Animation Studios in an increasingly event-driven theatrical marketplace
