After ending the first week with a steady Day 7, the animated sequel continued to draw families and young viewers on Day 8 as well. The buzz around the movie is still strong, and the early Friday numbers show the film is holding up better than many expected.
According to early estimates, Zootopia 2 collected around USD 18 million on Day 8, showing a clear rise from Thursday’s numbers. This jump was expected, as Fridays usually bring an increase in footfall, especially for family-friendly titles. With this, the film’s total box office collection has moved to around USD 232 million, giving it a solid start to the second week.
A Promising Start to Week 2
The film had already built a reliable base in its first week, with consistent numbers from Monday to Thursday. The Day 8 growth shows that the audience’s interest has not faded. A strong Friday often leads to an even better Saturday and Sunday, and Zootopia 2 seems to be headed in that direction.
Why Day 8 Matters
For most films, entering the second week comes with uncertainties. A sharp fall on Day 8 can signal that the first week was driven mainly by marketing hype. But a jump on this day usually indicates that the film has settled well with its audience.
Zootopia 2’s rise on Day 8 shows that the film is still attracting new viewers while also benefiting from repeat viewings. Kids’ films and animated movies often rely heavily on the weekend crowd, and this sequel is clearly enjoying that advantage.
The positive reception, engaging story, and strong nostalgia factor are all working in its favor.
If the upward trend continues through Days 9 and 10, the film will comfortably cross another major milestone.
