Disney’s animated sequel Zootopia 2 has reached a major milestone at the global box office. The film has crossed the $1 billion mark worldwide, confirming its huge appeal among audiences. With this achievement, Zootopia 2 has become the highest-grossing animated film in Disney’s history.
The movie has now earned an estimated $1.46 billion globally. This figure allows it to overtake Frozen II, which previously held the Disney animation record with $1.45 billion. The strong performance highlights the continued success of Disney’s animated franchises.
A large share of the revenue for Zootopia 2 has come from international markets. In the United States and Canada, the film has collected around $333 million. Overseas markets, however, have added nearly $1.13 billion. This means international audiences contributed most of the film’s earnings.
China has played a key role in the film’s success. The sequel has already earned more than $500 million there. It became the highest-grossing non-Chinese animated film in the country within five days of release. Industry observers describe this as one of the strongest Hollywood animated runs in China in recent years.
Another notable achievement is the speed of its success. Zootopia 2 reached the $1 billion mark in just 17 days. This makes it the fastest PG-rated film to hit that level. Analysts say this rapid rise would not have been possible without strong overseas support.
Despite its record-breaking Disney run, Zootopia 2 currently ranks fourth on the global animated box office list. China’s Ne Zha 2 remains at the top with about $2.2 billion. It is followed by Inside Out 2 and The Lion King. Given its remaining time in theaters, experts believe the sequel is unlikely to move higher in the rankings.
The success of Zootopia 2 also reflects Disney’s wider content strategy. The studio has focused heavily on sequels in recent years. Upcoming projects include Toy Story 5 and Frozen 3. These plans suggest Disney will continue building on established animated brands.
Overall, the strong performance of Zootopia 2 underlines the growing importance of global audiences. It also shows how animated sequels can still deliver major box office results.
