Zootopia 2 leads the weekend box office as holdovers and new releases compete for audience attention. The animated sequel returned to the top spot thanks to strong family turnout, once again positioning Zootopia 2 as the weekend’s box office leader. Meanwhile, a major horror follow up experienced a steep second weekend drop. Smaller releases struggled to break through, highlighting the growing divide between franchise driven hits and mid budget theatrical offerings.
Zootopia 2 leads the weekend box office Top 5
- Zootopia 2 leads the weekend box office as the animated sequel reclaimed first place in its third weekend with $26.3 million. The film continues to show strong staying power with families, once again topping the box office chart. Its domestic total now stands at $259 million. Worldwide, the sequel has surpassed $1.13 billion.
2. Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 Slides to Second
The horror sequel fell to No. 2 with $19.5 million in its second weekend, finishing behind the box office leader. The drop was steep following its strong debut. Even so, the film remains a clear success for Blumhouse due to its modest production budget and solid global earnings.
3. Wicked: For Good Holds in Third Place
Universal’s musical earned $8.5 million in its fourth weekend at the box office. While attendance has slowed, the film continues to add to its totals behind the weekend’s box office leader. It has now reached $312 million domestically and $467 million worldwide.
4. Hamnet Finds an Audience in Limited Release
Directed by Chloé Zhao, Hamnet posted a solid showing in limited release at the box office. The drama earned $1.5 million from fewer than 800 theaters, performing well despite competing with the weekend’s box office leaders. Its performance reflects steady interest in prestige titles despite heavy competition.
5. Ella McCay Struggles in Its Debut
Rounding out the Top 5, Disney’s Ella McCay opened with $2.1 million domestically. The political dramedy faced weak turnout from both critics and audiences. As a result, it delivered one of the studio’s softer openings in recent years.
Looking ahead, next weekend brings the release of Avatar: Fire and Ash. The highly anticipated sequel is expected to dominate the box office and could be on track to break records.
