The Thanksgiving holiday weekend in Hollywood was a massive success, thanks to the release of two major films: Disney's Zootopia 2 and Universal's Wicked: For Good. Both movies drew large audiences to theaters during the extended holiday period.
Zootopia 2, the animated sequel from Disney, made a significant impact at the domestic box office, raking in an impressive $156 million since its debut across 4,000 theaters. The film's five-day performance set a new record as the second-best Thanksgiving launch in domestic history, following closely behind Disney's Moana 2. Internationally, Zootopia 2 was also a hit, earning $400 million globally, with a substantial portion of that coming from China.
Universal's Wicked: For Good, the highly-anticipated sequel, also performed well during the holiday weekend, bringing in $93 million over the five-day period. The film's total earnings of $270.4 million domestically and $393.3 million globally after just 10 days in theaters solidify its status as a holiday blockbuster.
The success of Zootopia 2 and Wicked: For Good demonstrates the enduring appeal of animated and fantasy films during the holiday season. With strong box office numbers and positive reviews, both movies have proven to be crowd-pleasers and are set to continue their successful run in theaters.
