Zootopia 2 continues to make history at the box office.
On Tuesday, the Disney Animation Studios blockbuster passed up A Minecraft Movie ($423.9 million) to rank as the highest-grossing domestic release of 2025 with $424.2 million in ticket sales. The Oscar-nominated pic was already the top-grossing Hollywood title of the year at both the global and international box office, animated or otherwise.
That’s not all. The latest milestone caps one of the most surprising, and remarkable, runs in the history of the genre. When the sequel opened over Christmas, no one could predicted it would become the top-grossing animated film of all time, not adjusted for inflation. Through Tuesday, the film’s global haul stood at roughly $1.85 billion.
The sequel opened to a record-breaking $559.5 million globally over its five-day Christmas launch, the largest animated opening in history for the genre on its way to becoming both the fastest animated or PG film ever to reach $1 billion, a task it completed in 17 days.
Now in its 13th week, the film has remained in the top 10 domestically for 13 consecutive weeks.
And it’s the first Hollywood film in recent memory to do mega-business in China, where it has earned north of $650 billion to become the top-grossing Western film of all time, surpassing Avengers: Endgame. It has also shattered records in markets across the globe.
To boot, it ranks No. 8 on the list of the all-time, highest-grossing Hollywood films, unadjusted.
And, excluding China, Zootopia 2 has outgrossed the entire worldwide total of the original Zootopia, which topped out at $1.025 billion following its release in 2016.
