\u201cZootopia 2\u201d<\/a> had a roaring, record-setting opening at the box office. <\/p>\n

The animal city sequel from the Walt Disney Company brought in $96 million in North America over the weekend, earned $156 million over the five-day Thanksgiving frame, and scored a staggering $556 million globally since its Wednesday opening, according to studio estimates Sunday. <\/p>\n

That made it the highest international opening ever for an animated movie, the fourth highest global debut of any kind, and the top international opener of 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cWicked: For Good\u201d<\/a> stayed aloft in its second weekend for Universal Pictures, earning another $62.8 million domestically over the weekend for a North American total of $270.4 million. The second half of the \u201cWicked\u201d saga has brought in $393 million internationally. <\/p>\n

The pair of sequels combined to make the Thanksgiving weekend a glimmering exception to an otherwise dark year at movie theaters. <\/p>\n

\u201cZootopia 2\u201d<\/a> arrives almost a decade after the original, a hit that outpaced expectations and had a March domestic opening of $75 million. <\/p>\n

Like the first, it features the duo of bunny cop Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and small-time hustler fox Nick Wilde ( Jason Bateman<\/a> ).<\/p>\n

With final domestic figures being released Monday, this list factors in the estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore:<\/p>\n
