Disney's Animated Sequel "Zootopia 2" Sizzles This Thanksgiving Weekend, Raking in Record-Breaking Earnings.
In a stunning display of box office prowess, Disney's highly anticipated animated sequel "Zootopia 2" has taken the holiday season by storm, shattering records and racking up a whopping $556 million in global earnings within its first five-day period. The film's impressive debut has left critics and audiences alike singing its praises, with many hailing it as an equal to – if not surpassing – its original 2016 counterpart.
This phenomenal performance marks "Zootopia 2" as the largest-ever worldwide opening for an animated film, while also claiming the fourth spot among all Hollywood movies. The overseas market has been a significant contributor to this success, with China's $272 million haul making it the biggest animated launch in the territory and China's second-biggest since Marvel's "Avengers: Endgame" in 2019.
The film's enduring popularity can be attributed to its well-crafted narrative, which skillfully reintroduces beloved characters like Judy and Nick while introducing a new intriguing character in Ke Huy Quan's Gary. The sequel has also garnered widespread critical acclaim, with many praising its near-perfect balance of humor, heart, and visual spectacle.
Notably, "Zootopia 2" is well on its way to surpassing the earnings of its predecessor, which itself went on to become a global phenomenon, racking up an impressive $1.025 billion in ticket sales and securing several prestigious awards, including the Best Animated Feature Oscar at the 2017 Academy Awards.
The film's financial success has left Disney's competitors scrambling to keep pace, as "Wicked: For Good" takes second place with a whopping $393.3 million in earnings. With its impressive opening weekend numbers, it seems that the holiday season is shaping up to be a real box office battle royale.

! The fact that it's already broken records for animated films and is on track to surpass its predecessor's earnings is just insane 
. I think part of the reason for its success is because Disney was able to reintroduce us to some of our favorite characters, like Judy and Nick, while also bringing in a fresh face with Gary from "The Goonies" 
.
. And let's be real, who doesn't love a good underdog story? 
. And with "Wicked: For Good" giving them a run for their money, I think we can expect some seriously fierce competition in the box office this holiday season 
!
I'm not surprised by the massive success of "Zootopia 2", it's been building up anticipation for years and Disney really knows how to get their fans excited 
. The fact that it's breaking records left and right is just a testament to the genius of Jared Bush and Byron Howard, the masterminds behind the original film 
. I think what sets this sequel apart from the first one is the way they've managed to seamlessly integrate new characters like Gary while still giving the old favorites their due love 
. And let's be real, who doesn't love a good underdog story? 
The balance of humor and heart is just spot on, it's not too cheesy or over-the-top, but still manages to tug at your heartstrings 
.
and the fact that china is a huge part of that success is pretty cool 
especially since they loved the first one so much. Gary from ke huy quan is so lovable lol 
and it's great to see judy and nick back on screen together, i was worried they wouldn't be able to live up to the original but it looks like disney nailed it 
can't wait to see what other amazing things they have in store for us 
the fact that judy and nick are back along with this new character gary is giving me all the feels lol. and let's be real, who doesn't love a good underdog story? 
it's so inspiring to see how far zootopia 1 went and now zootopia 2 is breaking even more records 
it's like, the perfect blend of humor, heart, and awesomeness - can't get enough of those lovable characters 
. I mean, who doesn't love Judy and Nick's sassy banter 
? And Gary, played by the amazing Ke Huy Quan, is like the ultimate scene-stealer 
. It's no wonder it's breaking records left and right! I'm not surprised it's giving that Avengers: Endgame a run for its money 
. i mean, who doesn't love a good ol' fashioned zootopia mystery? 
and let's not forget about the humor and heart – they totally nailed it! 
! gotta give it up to disney for putting out another masterpiece
