Overview

  • Disney’s sequel hit the $1 billion global mark on Dec. 12 after just 17 days in theaters, setting speed records for both Hollywood animation and PG-rated releases.
  • Before crossing the threshold, totals stood at about $232.7 million in North America and $753.4 million overseas, with China contributing roughly $447 million.
  • The film launched over Thanksgiving with a record five-day global debut of about $559.5 million, the biggest animated opening worldwide and Disney’s top animated start.
  • It becomes the third 2025 release to top $1 billion alongside Ne Zha 2 and Lilo & Stitch, and trade reports say it is on track to overtake Lilo & Stitch’s $1.03 billion this weekend.
  • Disney has not announced a Disney+ date; industry coverage indicates the studio is likely to hold a longer theatrical window, with pattern-based estimates pointing to late February 2026 for streaming.
