You must have heard about the success of Zootopia 2. If not, we’ll talk about Zootopia’s massive box office collection today.
Disney was dreaming of marketing the movie effectively, making a lot of money, and having a huge opening. But they would have such a huge opening that it would break Avengers: Endgame’s record. Disney, nor anyone else, had imagined this.
And this movie will earn 200%, $1.5 billion, and maybe even $2 billion, because the figures emerging are very large.
$100M in a Day in China — The Impossible Made Possible
Forget Endgame: to date, no Hollywood movie has collected more than $100 million in China in a single day. This movie has, which is not a small number but a huge one.
For the last four to five years, it was believed that Hollywood movies were no longer able to perform in China. The Chinese market was closed for them. But look, Zootopia 2 proved everything wrong, and the movie received a massive opening in China.
Global Weekend Record — $556 Million
No Hollywood movie has ever set such a massive global weekend record. This movie’s weekend record is $556 million, which is massive. No other Hollywood animated film has achieved such a massive collection in a single week.
Current Collection — $915.7M and unstoppable run
So far, this movie has collected $915.7 million. In Indian currency, that’s more than Rs 8200 crore. That’s why I’m saying this movie will definitely earn $1.5 billion, and maybe, who knows, it might even cross the $2 billion mark.
Even the upcoming Avatar: Fire and Ash will have to work very hard to reach $2 billion. But this movie has already gone far ahead. There are many reasons for that.
The story surprised everyone
Nobody expected the story to be so dark and twisted, or the villain to be portrayed in such a unique way.
Everyone thought Disney would make a typical safe children’s film, but the real target audience turned out to be people of all ages — children, adults, and the elderly.
Massive Collection not just because of the story — here are the real reasons:
- Released on Thanksgiving, people had time off
- Many viewers watched it 2-4 times
- A strong global fan following already existed
- No major competing releases
- Word of mouth spread like wildfire
More than marketing, the movie’s content and people’s discussions propelled its success.
Final Prediction — How much will it earn?
$1 billion is just a formality.
$1.5 billion is certain.
The chances of hitting $2 billion are sky high.
What do you think Zootopia 2 will earn? And how much will Avatar: Fire and Ash make?
