Zootopia 2 Dethrones Avengers: Endgame With Record Box Office Run

Zootopia 2 isn’t just a hit, it’s sprinting past mile markers like it’s late for roll call. The sequel cracked $1 billion worldwide in just 11 days, and it doesn’t look remotely winded.

How fast is fast?

Eleven days to $1B makes it the fastest PG-rated movie ever to hit that number. For context, Avengers: Endgame still holds the overall speed record with five days, but Zootopia 2 did outdo Endgame where it counts in one very specific, very nerdy box-office metric.

China is doing heavy lifting

China has been a monster driver for this thing: $440 million so far. And here’s the wild part: the movie posted better legs than Endgame at certain points over there and set a new single-day record for a non-Chinese release in China — $104 million in one day (738 million yuan) — nudging past Endgame’s previous mark. That’s not normal for Hollywood titles these days.

• $1 billion in 11 days worldwide — fastest ever for a PG-rated film
• Endgame still did $1 billion in 5 days — faster overall, different league
• China haul so far: $440 million
• Single-day China record for a non-Chinese movie: $104 million (738 million yuan)
• Trajectory: $1.5 billion looks likely if this pace holds
• The $2 billion club this decade: Avatar: The Way of Water and Ne Zha 2 — both powered by huge China numbers (Ne Zha 2 was basically domestic)

Can it reach $2 billion?

That’s the real swing. Only two movies have pulled it off this decade, and both leaned hard on China. Hollywood releases don’t get the automatic mega-run there like they did in the 2010s, which is why Zootopia 2 standing out in that market is a big deal. If the legs keep holding — four-quadrant, widely liked, all the usual signs — $2B isn’t impossible. Just not easy.

The wrinkle

Avatar: Fire & Ash opens this month, and Cameron-world tends to crush in China. If that wave hits, it could clip Zootopia 2’s path to $2B. That said, this is already a massive win. No one at Disney is losing sleep over how this story ends.

Zootopia 2 is in theaters now. If you’ve seen it, I’m curious — does it feel like a $2B movie to you?
