While Zootopia 2 is putting up impressive numbers at the North American box office, its performance on the global stage has been nothing short of historic. The animated sequel is not just a domestic hit; it’s a full-blown international powerhouse, shattering records and demonstrating massive appeal in key overseas markets, particularly in China.
Zootopia 2 Rakes In $133 Million
Through its first few days in release, the film has amassed a global total of over $133 million, with a staggering $74 million coming from international territories. This powerful start signals that the love for Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde extends far beyond the United States, cementing the franchise as a true worldwide phenomenon.
Record-Shattering Performance in China
The most stunning results have come from China, a market that has been increasingly challenging for Hollywood films. Zootopia 2 defied recent trends by scoring the biggest opening day for a U.S. animated film in the country’s history, earning an estimated $34 million. The film’s momentum has not slowed, with early estimates from its first Friday pushing its three-day total in China to over $94 million.
This incredible reception proves that the first film’s success in the region was no fluke. Audience scores are exceptionally high, with local box office tracker Maoyan giving the film a 9.7 rating and projecting a potential lifetime gross of over $450 million in China alone. This performance is a major bright spot for Hollywood in the often-unpredictable market.
Dominance Across Global Markets
The success story isn’t limited to China. Zootopia 2 has opened at number one in nearly every international market where it has been released. In Europe, it secured record launch days for a studio animated title in 2025 in France, Germany, and Italy. Latin America has also shown strong support, with Mexico delivering the third-highest opening day for a Walt Disney Animation Studios film ever.
The sequel has also debuted at number one across the Asia-Pacific region, with Australia’s opening day coming in 97% ahead of the original Zootopia. From Korea to Brazil, the story is the same: audiences are enthusiastically embracing the film. This widespread success underscores the universal appeal of the film’s characters and themes, positioning Zootopia 2 to be one of the biggest global hits of the year.
