The final opening weekend numbers for Zootopia 2 are in, and Disney's animated sequel easily won Thanksgiving weekend with a massive $556 million worldwide haul.
This gives the family-friendly adventure the best opening for an animated film ever, as well as the fourth-highest global opening of all time, and the highest of 2025. Domestically, the movie took in $156 million over the 5-day holiday. The three-day gross was $96.8 million, which is the second-highest Thanksgiving opening ever.
At this point, Zootopia 2 is pretty much guaranteed to join the $1 billion club.
“Zoo” music and lyrics are written by Ed Sheeran, Blake Slatkin and Shakira. The song is produced by Blake Slatkin, Alex (A.C.) Castillo, Shakira and Ed Sheeran. The single “Zoo” releases on Friday, October 10. The movie's score is composed by Michael Giacchino and launches as a part of the full soundtrack on Friday, November 21, ahead of the film’s theatrical release on Wednesday, November 26.
In addition to writing and producing the single “Zoo” with Shakira, Ed Sheeran and Blake Slatkin appear in special cameos as a pair of sheep named Ed Shearin and Baalake Lambkin.
