Zootopia 2 is up to 401 M domestically. If it can somehow make 22 M more it will pass Lilo & Stitch to become the # 2 film of 2025 here in the states.
.

Here are the final domestic statistics for 2025.

Number of films which reached 400 million: 3

Number of films which made at least 200 M: 11


In 2024, two films (Inside Out 2 and Deadpool & Wolverine) made over 600 M. Nothing released in 2025 even came close to that.

In 2024, 10 films made at least 200 M, so somewhat similar to 2025.

More films in 2025 made at least 300 M (seven) while only 5 did in 2024.

And of the top 13 movies, only one was not based on previously existing IP.

I have a thought on this. A lot of people complain there are no original films. I can look at the movies listed for any theater and most movies showing are something new. The problem is, people don't go to see them unless there's an odd breakout film (like Sinners). So how is a movie studio supposed to lose money pumping out tons of original ideas in the hopes that one clicks, when a sequel is almost a surefire moneymaker?

I believe that 2025 was the first time in decades, aside from the COVID year 2020, that the # 1 film didn't come out between May and July or Nov/Dec. Minecraft came out in mid spring last year

ZOOTOPIA 2 passed MINECRAFT and LILO & STITCH to become the # 1 film of 2025, domestically.

AVATAR needs about 100 K more to reach 400 M. It is the # 4 film of last year.

The only superhero films which made the Top 10 of 2025 were SUPERMAN and FANTASTIC FOUR at # 5 and # 9, respectively.
