"Walt Disney Co.'s Zootopia 2 achieved the highest global opening for any animated picture in the company's history with a haul of $559.5 million in ticket sales worldwide. The film, about a rabbit cop and her crime-fighting partner, brought in over $400 million internationally over the weekend. It also collected $158.8 million at the US and Canadian box office over the extended Thanksgiving holiday, becoming the No. 1 domestic film, according to figures published released Monday by Comscore Inc."
"The five-day domestic haul for Zootopia 2 compared with expectations of at least $125 million from industry tracker Boxoffice Pro. The picture also set a record in China, marking the biggest opening for an imported animated feature, Disney said. Zootopia 2 builds momentum for Disney ahead of the debut of James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third installment in a franchise that counts two of the bestselling films in Hollywood history."
Zootopia 2 opened with $559.5 million in global ticket sales, including over $400 million internationally and $158.8 million in the US and Canada over the Thanksgiving holiday, reaching No. 1 domestically per Comscore. The sequel follows the 2016 story of a rabbit and a fox who partner in the police force and provides a bright spot for Disney Animation after mixed results, including Moana 2's success and disappointments like Wish and Strange World. The film set an imported-animation opening record in China, exceeded five-day domestic expectations, and arrives just weeks before Avatar: Fire and Ash on Dec. 19, while Disney noted a $400 million quarterly earnings reduction due to timing and promotion spending.
