Zootopia 2 is poised to achieve some significant milestones on its opening weekend at the domestic box office. It has recorded one of the biggest Thanksgiving Thursdays among Hollywood films ever. It has beaten Frozen 2 and other films to achieve this feat, but failed to outshine Moana 2. Keep scrolling for the deets.
The film has received excellent ratings on the Rotten Tomatoes site. The critics gave it a 91% rating, and the audience gave it a 95% rating. The critics say, “Cleverly layering a thoughtful message onto another crackerjack caper while solidifying Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde as one of the most endearing buddy pairings in ages, Zootopia 2 more than justifies a return trip to the big city.”
