Early Tracking Puts "Zootopia 2" on Course for a $115–$130 Million Thanksgiving Opening

Analysts credit timing right after Thanksgiving together with aggressive Disney marketing.

Overview

Box Office Theory’s long-range forecast pegs a $115–$130 million three-day domestic debut, as reported on Oct. 18.
The U.S. release is set for Nov. 26, placing the film at the height of family moviegoing over the holiday weekend.
At the upper end of projections, the opening could challenge recent animated benchmarks such as Moana 2’s roughly $140 million three-day.
Disney’s campaign and a lull in major studio animated releases since August’s The Bad Guys 2 are cited as demand drivers.
Returning leads Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman reteam with directors Jared Bush and Byron Howard, joined by new voices including Ke Huy Quan, Idris Elba, and Bonnie Hunt.
