*Zootopia (2016)*

Disney's newest animated film *Zootopia*, about a rabbit and fox police duo, leaped ahead of two major box office milestones on Friday.

Not only did the film top [*Frozen*'s first-day](https://money.com/zootopia-box-office-opening/) box office sales by $1.4 million on opening day, but *Zootopia* has now made more than $100 million in the U.S. and $300 million worldwide.

Its launch weekend earnings of $75 million was Walt Disney Animation Studios' biggest three-day opening of all time. And the film is expected to be the top earner again this weekend, bringing in at least $40 million, despite competition from new releases like *10 Cloverfield Lane* and *The Brothers Grimsby*.

Internationally, Zootopia's total reached $207.1 million. (The film was released in many international markets three weeks ago.) China is by far the biggest market with $52.8 million, followed by France with $22.4 million and Russia with $16.7 million, according to *[Variety](http://variety.com/2016/film/box-office/box-office-zootopia-300-million-1201728165/)*.

Such box office growth shows 2016 is likely to follow last year's lead and be very kind to studios as movie fans take a break from Netflix and head to the big screen. From 2009-2010, [box office sales plateaued](http://www.boxofficemojo.com/yearly/) around $10.5 billion. But in 2015, sales grew by 7.4% and crossed the $11 billion mark for the first time, dominated by another Disney film: *Star Wars: The Force Awakens*.
