Disney has high hopes for Zootopia 2, and that makes sense considering the success of the first film. The original Zootopia pulled in $341.3 million in the U.S. and Canada and $682.5 million internationally on a budget of $150 million. This makes it the company’s 10th-highest-grossing animated film.
Zootopia 2 will be released in theaters on November 26, 2025, meaning its box office performance will be added to other Disney films that came out this year. This could make 2025 a win for Disney, as currently its box office releases are mixed, with some films well above budgets and others not performing as well.
