In its eighth week at the box office, Zootopia 2 made $8.8 million, making it the highest-grossing animated Motion Picture Association release of all time. Currently the film's box-office collections stand at $1.7 billion, and it has now surpassed Inside Out 2 as the highest-grossing MPA animated release of all time. The latter only made $1.69 billion.

This achievement also makes Zootopia 2 stand behind Spider-Man: No Way Home ($1.9 billion) and Avengers: Infinity War ($2 billion) as the ninth biggest global release of all time.

The new chapter of Zootopia brings back Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman), who are thrown into their most unpredictable case yet when a mysterious reptilian figure, Gary De'Snake, voiced by Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan, arrives in Zootopia and plunges the city into chaos. Their investigation takes them undercover into unfamiliar corners of the world, promising a bigger, twistier adventure.

A long list of returning fan-favourite characters also make a comeback, including Idris Elba as Chief Bogo, Shakira as Gazelle, Jenny Slate as Bellwether, Nate Torrence as Clawhauser, Bonnie Hunt and Don Lake as Bonnie and Stu Hopps, Tommy Chong as Yax, Alan Tudyk as Duke Weaselton, Maurice LaMarche as Mr. Big, Leah Latham as Fru Fru, John Dallas as Frantic Pig, Mark Rhino Smith as Officer McHorn and Raymond Persi as Flash.

The film is helmed by Jared Bush and Byron Howard. Disney is yet to announce a third film in the Zootopia franchise.
