Disney’s Zootopia 2 dominated the global box office with a massive $556 million debut over the Thanksgiving weekend, marking the fourth-highest worldwide opening of all time.
Disney’s animated sequel Zootopia 2 stormed the global box office over the U.S. Thanksgiving weekend, earning an estimated $556 million worldwide between Wednesday and Sunday, according to studio estimates released on Sunday.
The film’s strong performance marks the fourth-highest global opening in box office history, Disney said — a major win for the studio and a promising sign for cinemas heading into the busy holiday season. The sequel continues the story of the bustling animal metropolis first introduced in 2016, reuniting audiences with beloved characters Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde in a new adventure.
Meanwhile, Universal Pictures’ movie musical Wicked: For Good also enjoyed a successful weekend, grossing $92.2 million globally and bringing its total earnings to $393.3 million in its first ten days of release.
The twin successes of Zootopia 2 and Wicked: For Good have injected fresh energy into the global film market, offering renewed optimism for theater owners still recovering from pandemic-era declines. Despite the impressive numbers, annual movie ticket sales have yet to return to pre-2019 levels — a benchmark many in the industry hope to approach by year’s end.
With strong word-of-mouth and festive season momentum, both films are expected to maintain robust box office performance in the coming weeks.
