"Zootopia 2" Surpasses $1 Billion at the Global Box Office As The First American Animated Film In Crossing 1 Billon
Today, Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Zootopia 2 will cross the $1 billion mark at the global box office after only 17 days in release, having earned $986.1 million globally thus far ($232.7 million domestic and $753.4 million international).
The hit film will be the second Motion Picture Association (MPA) $1 billion title of 2025 after Disney’s Lilo & Stitch, and will reach the global milestone in the shortest amount of time among all animated MPA releases and all PG-rated films.
Amid its stellar international performance, Zootopia 2 has broken a number of historic records in China. It is the country’s highest animated opening of all time for a non-local title — with a massive $272 million — and the highest-grossing non-local animated film of all time, which was achieved in only five days. Today, the film stands as the No. 2 MPA release of all time in the country, behind Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Endgame, with an estimated $447 million to date. The Walt Disney Studios now also holds three of the top five highest-grossing MPA titles ever released in the Chinese market.
“Everyone at Disney Animation put their heart, soul and passion into this film to tell a story full of joy, imagination, and incredible thoughtfulness, This milestone means the world to us, because more than anything, it means audiences are coming to theaters for a shared experience of watching this movie on the big screen, everyone together, from all walks of life around the world — and that is a Zootopia dream come true.” --  Jared Bush (Chief Creative Officer, Walt Disney Animation Studios)
While Zootopia 2 continues its phenomenal worldwide theatrical run, its box office success has also reignited interest in the franchise, driving record viewership of Zootopia and Zootopia+ on Disney+, where they’ve been viewed for more than 725 million hours globally on the platform.
