Zootopia 2 has grossed $630 million in China, the best performance by any Hollywood film in the territory, according to Disney.
The company included the stat in its executive remarks about its fiscal first quarter results. The animated sequel had previously been acknowledged as the best U.S. performer in China, but the updated gross figure had not been released. China, which years ago had been a reliable and sizable contributor to Hollywood films’ overall box office, has become far more unpredictable lately.“The box office success of our branded IP also generates value across our interconnected businesses, with hits like Zootopia 2 lifting viewership of related titles on Disney+ and fueling global interest in our parks and consumer products,” CEO Bob Iger and CFO Hugh Johnston said in the remarks. “This franchise is also an important driver of attendance at Shanghai Disneyland with our Zootopia-themed land – one of the most popular areas of the park.”
With almost $1.8 billion in global box office, Zootopia 2 is on the all-time top 10 list of top performers. It was one of three billion-plus titles for Disney in 2025, along with Avatar: Fire and Ash and Lilo & Stitch.
In the earnings remarks, Disney said it has released 37 of the Hollywood studios’ overall tally of 60 films to reach the billion-dollar global plateau – four times as many as any other studio.
China’s own Ne Zha 2 owns the record for top box office draw in the territory. It had grossed $2.12 billion by the end of 2025.
Disney edged Wall Street analysts’ expectations in the quarter. The company’s board of directors is due to meet this week and select the executive who will follow Iger as CEO, capping a closely watched multi-year succession process. Speculation has grown that Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro will be the pick.
