Overview

  • The film’s global total stands at about $1.46 billion, topping 2019’s Frozen II at $1.45 billion to set a new Walt Disney Animation high.
  • Reported grosses include roughly $333 million in North America and $1.13 billion overseas after a strong fifth‑week holiday surge.
  • China is the standout market at approximately $563.1 million, far ahead of other territories and unusual for a Hollywood animation.
  • The sequel reached $1 billion in 17 days, the fastest pace ever for a PG‑rated release, after a record Thanksgiving five‑day launch estimated at $556 million worldwide.
  • It is the top Hollywood release of 2025 and ranks among the year’s limited group of billion‑dollar earners alongside Lilo & Stitch and China’s Ne Zha 2.
