\n\tAfter a barren harvest at the fall box office<\/a>, exhibitors have a lot to be thankful for as Disney\u2019s Zootopia 2<\/a> and Universal\u2019s Wicked: For Good<\/a> finally are delivering the goods this holiday season.<\/p>\n

\n\tZootopia 2 started previews at 2 p.m. Tuesday that delivered $10.2M. This is the second-highest preview start for a Walt Disney Animation Studios film\u00a0ever, only behind Moana 2 ($13.8M Tuesday) and ahead of Frozen II ($8.5M Thursday). It\u2019s also the second-highest Tuesday preview for a Disney Thanksgiving opening title.<\/p>\n

\n\tAmong the top animated previews ever, Zootopia 2 is 8th <\/p>\n

Incredibles 2:\u00a0$18.5M Thurs \/ $183M 3-day (2018)<\/p>\n

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse: $17.4M Thurs \/ $121M 3-day (2023)<\/p>\n

Moana 2: $13.8M Tues \/ $140M 3-day, $225M 5-day (2024)<\/p>\n

\n\tThe domestic outlook for Zootopia 2 is $125M over five-days. Many believe there\u2019s room for upside, however, if it lands at that projection, it will be the second best 5-day opener over the domestic Thanksgiving holiday after Moana 2. Global start on the Jared Bush and Byron Howard co-directed movie is north of $270M. The sequel to the Oscar winning animated movie stands at 93% certified fresh with critics on Rotten Tomatoes, a few notches below the 98% of the 2016 title. <\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, Universal\u2019s first Tuesday of Wicked: For Good saw $15.75M, which is the second best Tuesday of 2025 so far after Warner Bros\/DC Studios\u2019 Superman which did $17.1M. In addition, Wicked: For Good charted the fourth best Tuesday in November after Frozen 2 ($20.7M, Nov. 26, 2019), Wicked ($16.6M, Nov. 26, 2024), and Hunger Games: Catching Fire ($15.9M, Nov. 26, 2013). Running cume for Wicked: For Good is $177.5M, +22% ahead of Wicked\u2018s five-day running cume\/previews. <\/p>\n

\n\tLast year\u2019s trio of Moana 2, Wicked and Paramount\u2019s Gladiator II fueled a record Thanksgiving 5-day of $424.9M. Despite the top-heavy success of Zootopia 2 and Wicked: For Good this weekend, what\u2019s glaringly missing at the Thanksgiving box office is a movie for guys ala last year\u2019s R-rated Gladiator II. Last Tuesday at this time had an extra $6.6M from the Ridley Scott directed sequel. Running Man isn\u2019t cutting it with the movie delivering around $980K yesterday for a running total of $28.7M. The top 20 titles yesterday (not counting Zootopia 2 previews) generated $21.7M, -25% from a year ago Tuesday\u2019s tally of $29M. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After a barren harvest at the fall box office, exhibitors have a lot to be thankful for as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":315130,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[88,206,14787,77793],"class_list":{"0":"post-315129","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-movies","10":"tag-wicked-for-good","11":"tag-zootopia-2"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=315129"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315129\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/315130"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=315129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=315129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=315129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
