The Oscar-nominated pic was already the top-grossing Hollywood title of the year at both the global and international box office, animated or otherwise.

When the sequel opened over Thanksgiving, no one could predicted it would become the top-grossing animated film of all time, not adjusted for inflation.

And its the first Hollywood film in recent memory to do mega-business in China, where it has earned north of $650 billion to become the top-grossing Western film of all time, surpassing Avengers: Endgame. It has also shattered records in other markets across the globe.

To boot, it ranks No. 8 on the list of the all-time, highest-grossing Hollywood films, unadjusted.

And, excluding China, Zootopia 2 has outgrossed the entire worldwide total of the original Zootopia, which topped out at $1.025 billion following its release in 2016.
