The epic animated sequel – which reunites Judy and Nick as they dive into a high-stakes case – opened to US$556M globally, is the biggest Disney animation opening of all time after Frozen 2 in Malaysia and Thailand
Philippines, Wednesday, 3 December, 2025: Zootopia 2 has slithered straight to the top of the global box office, raking in a record-breaking US$556 million in its opening weekend, clinching the highest global debut of 2025, the 4th highest global opening of all-time, and the highest global opening for any animated film in Disney history. In Southeast Asia, the film generated over $8M to date, with Malaysia ($2M) and Thailand ($1.7M) leading the regional charge, opening at All Industry No.1 in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
“We are thrilled by the success of Zootopia 2 across Southeast Asia.” said Rachel Fong, Executive Director and Studio General Manager, The Walt Disney Company Southeast Asia. “While Zootopia showed that anything is possible when you believe in yourself, Zootopia 2 shows the importance of community — and what we can achieve together when we overcome our differences. We’re proud to bring that message to life for our fans across the region, from inviting local communities to join our Zootopia-themed roving school bus in the Philippines, a city-hopping experience through four different MRT stations in Indonesia, to celebrating diverse voices through a social campaign featuring beloved local dubbing stars in Thailand.”
In the Philippines, fans were immersed in Zootopia 2 through a series of activations. A Zootopia-inspired setup debuted at SM Mall of Asia, while a Zootopia 2 bus toured Metro Manila’s main roads, schools, universities, and parks.

To crack the case, Judy and Nick must go undercover to unexpected new parts of town, where their growing partnership is tested like never before. The film also features the voices of Fortune Feimster, Andy Samberg, Idris Elba, Patrick Warburton, Quinta Brunson, Nate Torrence, and Shakira, who returns as Gazelle. From the Oscar®-winning team of Disney Animation chief creative officer Jared Bush and Byron Howard (directors) and Yvett Merino (producer).
