‘Zootopia 2’ Passes 2 Million Admissions in First Five Days at Korean Box Office

Disney’s latest animated tentpole ‘Zootopia 2′ is off to a blistering start in Korea, crossing the 2 million admissions mark just five days after its theatrical release.

The sequel is outpacing the original film by a wide margin; the 2016 hit required nearly three weeks longer to reach the same milestone, underscoring heightened audience anticipation for the franchise’s return.

According to data from the Korean Film Council’s box-office tracking service, the film surged over the weekend on the strength of family turnout and devoted animation fans.

Industry observers point to the franchise’s expanded world-building, the renewed chemistry of lead duo Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, and a balance of humor and thematic heft as key drivers behind its broad demographic appeal.

With the sequel’s early momentum showing no signs of slowing, box-office analysts predict Zootopia 2 could not only outperform its predecessor by a significant margin but also emerge as one of the defining commercial performers of the year’s final quarter.

Set once again in the vibrant, species-diverse metropolis of Zootopia, the film follows Judy and Nick as they plunge into a new mystery that pushes the celebrated partners into uncharted territory.
