Disney's animated sequel Zootopia 2 bounced back to No. 1 at the domestic box office in its third weekend, earning an estimated $26.3 million. The bigger milestone: it crossed the $1 billion mark worldwide (reaching around $1.14 billion), fueled by a massive $502 million+ haul in China alone—making it one of the biggest Hollywood hits there in years and the top-grossing U.S. film of 2025 so far.
In a quiet pre-holiday weekend with no major new wide releases, holdovers dominated. Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 held strong in second with ~$19.5 million, while Wicked: For Good rounded out the podium at $8.6 million. Newcomer Ella McCay disappointed with just $2.1 million despite a wide release.
All eyes now turn to next week's blockbuster arrival: Avatar: Fire and Ash.
