The domestic haul is now up to $259 million, and the international total is at an incredible $877.7 million. Lilo &amp; Stitch ended its theatrical run earlier this year with $1.03 billion worldwide. But Zootopia 2 still has some way to go before it catches up with the biggest movie of 2025, Ne Zha 2, which made an eye-watering $1.9 billion theatrically. Disney has now had five billion-dollar releases since 2013: Frozen; Frozen 2; Moana 2; Zootopia; and Zootopia 2.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">IGN&#8217;s Zootopia 2 review returned an 8\/10. We said: &#8220;Zootopia 2 sends ZPD\u2019s first ever bunny-fox detective duo back onto the case of some of the weightiest issues we face as a society, and they brought all the animal puns with them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Meanwhile, undeterred by a mauling from critics, Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s 2 has made $174 million after two weekends in theaters. While the sequel seems unlikely to match its predecessor\u2019s $292 million global box office haul back in 2023, it\u2019s a clear hit for Blumhouse, which, according to Variety, spent just $36 million on the horror film. IGN\u2019s Five Nights at Freddy&#8217;s 2 review returned a 3\/10. We said: \u201cFive Nights at Freddy&#8217;s 2 gives sequels, video game adaptations, and gateway horror movies a bad name.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Wicked: For Good is now on $468 million globally (it looks like ending its theatrical run a decent way behind 2024\u2019s Wicked, which hit an impressive $758 million globally), Now You See Me, Now You Don&#8217;t is on $214 million, and The Running Man is up to $68 million (more here on The Running Man\u2019s box office stumble). And finally, James L. Brooks\u2019 Ella McKay made just $2.1 million domestically during its opening weekend.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As the year nears its end, one final blockbuster is set to hit theaters: James Cameron\u2019s Avatar: Fire and Ash. It\u2019s another crucial release for Disney, which is reportedly releasing four different Avengers: Doomsday trailers to push fans into seeing it multiple times at theaters.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Wesley is Director, News at IGN.
