Zootopia 2 Dominates 2025 Box Office with $1.3 Billion Gross
Avatar: Fire and Ash is Hollywood’s latest blockbuster, but Zootopia 2 remains a record-breaking success. Surpassing Lilo & Stitch, it has become the highest-grossing Hollywood film of 2025. James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash earned over $345 million worldwide in its first five days; however, Zootopia 2 has already grossed $1.3 billion, exceeding Lilo & Stitch’s $1.1 billion. Avatar: Fire and Ash is the only film likely to challenge this record. During its fourth weekend, Zootopia 2 earned an estimated $91.2 million, with $14.5 million from North America and $76.7 million from the rest of the world. The film saw a 44% drop in North American box office revenue and a 42% drop worldwide (excluding China), but it improved by 36% internationally (including China).
Zootopia 2 Rakes in $1.3 Billion Globally, Outshining Peers and Boosting Disney’s Box Office Dominance
To date, Zootopia 2 has grossed $283 million in North America and $990 million internationally, totaling $1.27 billion worldwide. This success highlights the increasing importance of foreign markets for Hollywood. China, where the film has earned $502 million, is Zootopia 2’s most lucrative market, second only to Avengers: Endgame in overall earnings. This figure more than doubles the original Zootopia’s $1.04 billion lifetime earnings from 2016 and includes a $57.6 million contribution from the film’s fourth weekend. Zootopia 2 has already surpassed Minions ($1.16 billion) and Incredibles 2 ($1.24 billion), making it the sixth-highest-grossing animated film of all time. Released on November 26, it may yet surpass Frozen ($1.31 billion) and The Super Mario Bros. Movie ($1.36 billion) to become the fourth-highest-grossing animated film ever. In 2025, Zootopia 2 contributed to Disney’s highest domestic box office earnings, along with releases like the live-action Lilo & Stitch and The Fantastic Four. With two Disney films leading Hollywood in box office earnings, a third may soon join them.
