Overseas, the film brought in $219 million from 52 major markets during its second weekend. Overall, the international drop was 40 percent, or 27 percent if you exclude China. Some of the strongest holds were in Brazil (-16%), Germany (-18%), France (-27%), Korea (-27%), Australia (-28%), Spain (-28%), the UK (-34%), Italy (-38%), China (-45%), and Mexico (-46%).
According to Deadline Hollywood, the movie was expected to make over $125 million in the United States and Canada over the five-day Thanksgiving weekend and $270 million worldwide. Zootopia 2 surpassed those predictions, grossing $158.8 million domestically and $560.3 million globally through its first weekend.
Its worldwide opening was the highest ever for an animated film and the fourth-highest overall. In the U.S. and Canada, the three-day opening weekend was $100.3 million. The movie performed particularly well in China, grossing $271.6 million in its opening weekend and becoming the first Hollywood film to earn over $100 million in a single day on Saturday, November 29.
Meanwhile, Universal, Blumhouse, and Atomic Monster’s Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 made an impressive debut. The horror sequel grossed $109.1 million worldwide, well above pre-weekend projections.
Internationally, it earned an estimated $46.1 million from 76 markets. This is below the first Five Nights at Freddy’s film but above Final Destination: Bloodlines and Annabelle Comes Home, and more than double Smile 2, excluding previews.
