2. Zootopia 2

Weekend gross: $43M
Total domestic gross: $220.5M
Last weekend: 1st
Percent drop: 57

The numbers are a bit skewed since the original Zootopia opened in March while Zootopia 2 has the benefit of opening over a long Thanksgiving weekend, but Disney’s sequel is currently blowing away its predecessor’s pace through two weekends.

Zootopia 2 breezed past the $200 million mark this weekend to sit at $220.5 million in North America. (Zootopia had grossed $144 million at the same point.) The animated hit is also closing in on the $1 billion mark, with its $915.8 million worldwide haul just over $100 million behind the $1.019 billion that Zootopia settled at during its original run.
