Recently, Disney's classic animated IP sequel "Zootopia 2" has once again created a box office myth. Its global box office revenue has officially exceeded 1.8 billion US dollars, becoming one of the most successful works in the history of Disney and even global animated films.
What's even more amazing is its super high return on investment. The production budget of the film is approximately US$150 million, which is a relatively restrained scale among blockbusters, but it has created astronomical profits, once again confirming the unparalleled commercial appeal of Walt Disney Animation Studio's classic series.
The film performed particularly well in the international market. According to statistics, "Zootopia 2" received a box office of US$1.388 billion outside North America. This result makes it the fifth highest-grossing movie in history outside North America according to the American Film Institute, even surpassing the 2018 superhero blockbuster "Avengers: Infinity War" (US$1.374 billion).
This huge success confirms the global audience's continued love and strong interest in the "Zootopia" IP. The film combines a detective story, charismatic characters and Disney's top visual arts, allowing it to remain at the top of the theater box office for weeks after its release, and has become a cultural phenomenon that continues to attract global audiences.
