Zootopia 2 Smashes Records, Becomes First Foreign Animation to Top Box Office for Six Consecutive Weeks!
The latest installment in the Zootopia series, Zootopia 2, is currently a massive hit in theaters. It has now been revealed that the film has achieved a historic first for a foreign animation, topping the weekend box office rankings for six consecutive weeks. As of January 12, its domestic box office revenue has surpassed 12 billion yen with over 9 million tickets sold. Its worldwide revenue has also broken into the all-time top 12, showing no signs of slowing down.
Zootopia 2 follows the hardworking rabbit officer Judy Hopps and the sarcastic but kind-hearted fox Nick Wilde as they partner up once again, this time to uncover the astonishing secret behind the birth of the dream utopia, Zootopia. In Japan, just 30 days after its theatrical release on December 5, 2025, the film achieved the incredible feat of crossing the 10-billion-yen domestic revenue mark faster than any other foreign animation in history, outpacing cultural phenomena like Frozen and The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
Now, the film has secured the number one spot in the weekend box office rankings for its sixth week. This surpasses the previous record of five consecutive weeks held by Frozen, setting a new all-time record for foreign animated films.
Furthermore, as of January 12, the domestic revenue stands at 12,352,490,000 yen with an attendance of 9,078,409. Its global box office has reached $1,655.76 million (approximately ¥261.6 billion), finally surpassing The Avengers to rank 12th on the all-time worldwide box office chart.
The reasons behind the film’s staggering global success likely lie in the “emo” story of Judy and Nick’s bond, the hilarious and unique conversations between the cute animal characters, the thrilling mystery surrounding Zootopia that unravels at a breakneck pace, and the numerous fun homages that get more exciting the more you notice them.
The film continues to captivate both first-time viewers and repeat audiences. On social media, passionate comments are pouring in, such as: “Zootopia 2 is the first movie I’ve ever gone to see in theaters multiple times,” “I ended 2025 and started 2026 with Zootopia 2!!”, “It’s fun no matter how many times I see it, and I like it more with each viewing,” and “I’ve decided I’ll keep going to see it as long as it’s in theaters!”. All eyes remain on Zootopia 2 to see just how far its record-breaking run will go.
