On the global stage, it ranks fourth on the list of the largest worldwide openings in history, trailing only behind the superhero blockbusters: Avengers: Endgame, Avengers: Infinity War, and Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Rapid Billion-Dollar Achievement
Bolstered by strong critical reviews, positive word-of-mouth, and enthusiastic fan reactions across social media platforms, Zootopia 2 has also set a new speed record. It became the fastest PG-rated film to cross the USD 1 billion mark at the global box office, reaching this monumental milestone in a mere 17 days.

Internationally, the film has made an even more significant impact. It has become Hollywood's highest-grossing film overseas with a total collection of USD 1.425 billion. Combined with its domestic earnings, the sequel to Zootopia has amassed a staggering USD 1.85 billion worldwide, firmly establishing itself as 2025's top global release.
