The movie "Zootopia 2" became the first domestic release this year to surpass 6 million viewers.

On the 20th, the team behind the movie "Zootopia 2" (directors Jared Bush, Byron Howard, distributor/importer The Walt Disney Company Korea) said it surpassed 6 million viewers 25 days after its release.

According to the Korean Film Council (KOFIC) integrated box office system, "Zootopia 2" recorded a cumulative audience of 6,000,530 as of 12:33 p.m. today. This is more meaningful as it is the first film to exceed 6 million domestic viewers in about a year and two months since the release of "I, The Executioner" in September last year. In addition, it joined the top five domestic animated films by cumulative audience alongside "Frozen 2" (2019), "Frozen" (2014), "Inside Out 2" (2024) and "Elemental" (2023), setting a new milestone in animated box office history. With this, an unusual record was completed in which the top five highest-grossing domestic animated films of all time are all works by Disney and Pixar.

Continuing its unstoppable box office run, "Zootopia 2" not only ranked No. 1 in the annual domestic box office as the first Disney animated film to do so, but also surpassed $1.1 billion in global revenue, becoming the worldwide box office leader among Hollywood films in 2025, continually breaking overwhelming box office records. The story, which returns Judy and Nick after nine years and depicts them understanding each other's differences and growing into the best partners, the spectacular visuals and lively action that keep viewers glued, and the charm of supporting characters that enliven the film have spread an "fandom" phenomenon among audiences.

Even if thoughts and appearances differ, we are Ju-gether" (Naver @ch**), "Lovely Judy and Nick save the world again today" (CGV @Kuma**), "I hope the animals of Zootopia are happy" (Lotte Cinema @S***), "Highly recommend watching it twice!!"

It's so moving even for adults" (Lotte Cinema @Park***) and other positive reviews proving deep resonance and multiple viewings have solidified the film's box office momentum, drawing worldwide attention to the progress of "Zootopia 2".

"Zootopia 2" is a thrilling chase adventure in which the returning top duo of Zootopia, Judy and Nick, pursue the mysterious snake "Gary" who has shaken the city, plunging into a new world to investigate perilous incidents, and is being widely screened in theaters nationwide.<
