"Zootopia 2" breaks box office records and tops the animated film box office champion of Walt Disney Company(DIS.US).

Disney Animation Studios, the animation department of the Walt Disney Company (DIS.US), announced on Wednesday that its new film "Zootopia 2" has surpassed the global box office of "Frozen 2" released in 2019, setting a new record for the studio's highest box office earnings. In a time when global box office has not yet returned to pre-pandemic levels, this achievement is particularly impressive. This animated sequel is the fifth film from Disney Animation Studios to surpass the $1 billion mark in global box office. Since its premiere over Thanksgiving weekend, its global box office has reached $1.46 billion. The film's success is largely thanks to the strong push from the Chinese market - the film has already earned over $560 million in mainland China. During its opening weekend, "Zootopia 2" dominated the Chinese box office, capturing around 95% of the box office share, demonstrating absolute superiority. As the opening film in the traditional Hollywood holiday season, "Zootopia 2" earned approximately $556 million in global box office during its premiere weekend. The film continues the classic IP, reuniting rabbit officer Judy with fox partner Nick as they embark on a new adventure in this bustling and vibrant animal metropolis. With global box office still not fully recovered to pre-pandemic levels in 2019, this sequel's strong breakthrough undoubtedly injects a dose of encouragement for Disney Animation Studios and cinema chains - in the second biggest moviegoing season of the year, the film's high attendance rate is in line with the eager anticipation from all sides.
