The animal kingdom is ruling the charts once again. Disney’s Zootopia 2 is proving to be an unstoppable force at the box office, continuing its record-breaking journey well into its seventh week. After successfully overtaking the domestic lifetime earnings of Minions: The Rise of Gru, the animated blockbuster has now set its sights on a legendary superhero milestone: Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2.
A Global Phenomenon: Trailing Only Ne Zha 2
Even in its seventh week of release, Zootopia 2 remains a global titan. It currently holds the position of the second-highest-grossing film of 2025 worldwide. While it trails the massive $2.260 billion haul of China’s Ne Zha 2, it has maintained a significant lead over other heavyweights. Notably, the film is ahead of James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash by a staggering $491 million globally.
Domestic Dominance and Seventh Weekend Projections
In North America, the sequel has solidified its place as the third-highest-grossing title of 2025. On its seventh Friday, the film earned a steady $2.1 million. Despite a 71.1% drop from the previous week due to a reduction in theater screens, it still managed to record the third-biggest seventh Friday ever for a Thanksgiving animated release.
Industry experts project a $9 million to $12 million haul for its seventh three-day weekend. This momentum puts the film on a clear path to cross the coveted $400 million milestone in the North American market very soon.
The Battle of the Blockbusters: Zootopia 2 vs. Spider-Man 2
Zootopia 2 has already climbed past several major titles on the all-time domestic charts, including The Passion of the Christ, The Batman, and The Secret Life of Pets. The next target on its list is the 2004 classic Spider-Man 2, starring Tobey Maguire.
According to data from Box Office Mojo, here is how the two films currently compare:
Box Office Comparison Table
| Category | Zootopia 2 (Current) | Spider-Man 2 (Lifetime) |
| North America | $370.8 Million | $375.1 Million |
| International | $1.226 Billion | $410.3 Million |
| Worldwide | $1.597 Billion | $785.4 Million |
The animated sequel is currently trailing the web-slinger by approximately $4.3 million. Given its current daily earnings, Zootopia 2 is expected to leapfrog Spider-Man 2 within the next few days to secure its spot higher up the all-time domestic rankings.
Return to the City of Animals
Directed by the powerhouse duo of Jared Bush and Byron Howard, Zootopia 2 brings back the beloved chemistry of Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman). The sequel follows the duo as they navigate new challenges in the sprawling metropolis, investigating a mysterious threat that could destroy the peace between predators and prey.
With glowing reviews and strong family turnout, the film isn’t just a commercial success; it’s a testament to the enduring legacy of the Zootopia franchise.
