Why? How?
It's a sequel to a good movie, and is itself also a good movie.
Also, furries.
Also furries. (Only movie I've gone to see in a theater since Guardians of the Galaxy 3, and there were no kids in the audience. Just sayin'.)
Ah, yes
Inflation helps a lot
For more info look up Zootopia inflation
Sigh unzips
Because it’s not for adults to see it once and grade it against Schindler’s List, it’s for kids who think it’s the best thing they've ever seen and want to watch it five times in five days (bringing one or two parents with them each time).
Frozen 2 was released in 2019; according to google, the average movie ticket price was $9.16 (in the US). In 2025, the average ticket price is between $11.31 and $16.08 depending on source (again according to google). Since it only beat out Frozen by 10 million dollars, the inflation is the reason Zootopia 2 won that particular comparison.
On the other hand one could also argue that more people would have seen it if the tickets had been cheaper, but I think it's a pretty safe bet that inflation is the reason.
All that said, it's just a legitimately good movie. It deserves credit for that.
