Zootopia 2 from Walt Disney Animation Studios will have its OTT premiere on JioHotstar (OTTplay Premium) in India on March 13, 2026. During its historic theatrical window, the sequel broke numerous industry records and revitalised the animation business, solidifying its place as a global box office behemoth.
So far, Zootopia 2 has made $1.86 billion around the world. After beating out Inside Out 2 (2024), which had a record of $1.69 billion, this result officially makes it the highest-grossing Hollywood animated film of all time. With its current box office performance, the film ranks ninth all-time, behind only Avengers: Infinity War and Spider-Man: No Way Home, two important installments in the franchise.
The majority of the film's $1.43 billion in earnings came from its strong performance in international markets. China became an important market, and the country's $619 million helped make the film the second highest-grossing Hollywood movie in China. After beating off A Minecraft Movie for the highest North American box office earnings of 2025 with $425.9 million, the film took the cake.

The sequel broke all records with its $559.5 million opening weekend for Thanksgiving 2025, which took place on November 26, 2025. Additionally, at $1 billion in just 17 days, it broke the record for the quickest PG-rated film to do so.
Theatrical sales of Zootopia 2 in India were consistent, albeit lower than the film's worldwide success. Around ₹30.5 crore was the film's lifetime gross, and the film's long-term viability in major cities was unaffected by its initial opening of ₹1.6 crore. The Hindi dub, which included voiceover by Shraddha Kapoor as Judy Hopps, was a big part of the film's success in India. To reach viewers in those regions, the movie was also released in Telugu and Tamil.
The film, which Jared Bush and Byron Howard helmed, had a reported budget of $150 million. The story follows Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman's ZPD partner Judy Hopps as they look into a plot involving a mystifying serpent called Gary, voiced by Academy Award winner Ke Huy Quan.
Both the film's innovative use of animation technology and its examination of weighty social issues have earned high marks from critics. Not only is the film still one of the frontrunners in the race for the Academy Awards, but it also won the BAFTA for Best Animated Feature.
On March 11, the streaming transition will start worldwide on Disney+, and on Friday, March 13, it will premiere on JioHotstar (OTTplay Premium) in India. The streaming version will include the original English audio, along with localised dubs in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
