What was the opening weekend gross of Zootopia in the US?

Zootopia opened to $75.1 million in the United States and Canada during its opening weekend.

The 2016 animated film arrived in North American theaters on March 4, after strong early international releases. Before opening, industry tracking projected a domestic weekend in the $60 million-to-$70 million range. Instead, the film earned about $19.5 million on its opening day and finished the three-day weekend with approximately $75.1 million.

That result set several records at the time. It became the biggest opening weekend for a Walt Disney Animation Studios film, surpassing Frozen, and the biggest March opening for an animated movie, surpassing The Lorax. It also ranked as the largest non-Pixar Disney animated opening, exceeding Big Hero 6.

The figure is sometimes described simply as the “U.S. opening,” although box-office reports commonly combine the United States and Canada as the domestic or North American market. The precise reported total was about $75.06 million, conventionally rounded to $75.1 million. Zootopia ultimately became a billion-dollar worldwide success.
