Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Zootopia 2 has zoomed past the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office after just 17 days in release. It’s only the second film of 2025 so far to achieve that feat, behind fellow Disney blockbuster Lilo & Stitch.
Moreover, it did so in the shortest amount of time among all animated Hollywood releases and all PG-rated films.
It also marks the first back-to-back billion-dollar releases for Walt Disney Animation Studios, following last year’s Moana 2. The studio now counts five billion-dollar titles since 2013 between the Frozen, Moana and Zootopia series.
“Everyone at Disney Animation put their heart, soul and passion into this film to tell a story full of joy, imagination, and incredible thoughtfulness,” said Jared Bush, chief creative officer, Walt Disney Animation Studios. “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.”
Zootopia 2 opened on Nov. 26 to a record-breaking $559.5 million in five days, becoming the highest global animated opening of all time, the highest global debut of 2025, and the highest global opening for any animated film in Disney history.
The Thanksgiving tentpole has also reignited in the franchise, driving record viewership of Zootopia and Zootopia+.
More to come.
