So, Zootopia has now passed The Lion King for fourth highest-grossing animated film of all time, a little earlier than expected. But not because Zootopia has suddenly jumped past $987M worldwide, but rather because The Lion King just had its OS gross reduced by about $19M on Box Office Mojo, resulting in $968M worldwide.

 

Anyone know what's going on there? Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but not sure where else to post.

 

According to BOM:

 

As a brief aside, some may have also noticed Zootopia passed The Lion King at the worldwide box office recently while also noticing The Lion King's international total on BoxOfficeMojo declined $19 million on Thursday afternoon. This came as a result of a correction issued by Disney to BoxOfficeMojo, alerting us the original release of The Lion King made $450.6 million internationally, an additional $3.8 million with the 2002 IMAX reissue, and another $91.3 million from 2011's 3D reissue for an international total of $545.7 million. As a result, The Lion King now ranks 29th on Mojo's all-time worldwide chart with $968.5 million.

Well, Zootopia has passed the original sum as well.

 

Strange that Disney would issue a correction now of all times.

I wonder if back then they were trying to pad the numbers so it could hit a billion?

In a matter of a few weeks, Zootopia will make history by becoming only the 4th animated film in history to pass the coveted $1 billion mark worldwide.  However, that's not where the record ends: Walt Disney Animation Studios will officially become the only animated studio in history to boast two animated films grossing over $1 billion worldwide and to add to the already immensely historic achievement, it will accomplish this feat with TWO original films.

 

Walt Disney Animation Studios has always had a rough time adapting to change early on, but once it does, it will not only be a beast but prove to everyone why it's considered a legendary studio.  Zootopia was such an iffy and often under-estimated release that any thought of the film crossing the $1 billion mark was void let alone passing Big Hero 6, but here we are: Zootopia not only outperformed even the most optimistic of predictions but will heap over Big Hero's gross by more than $300 million!  What a great time for animation!

 

An advance congratulations to Disney and the creators of Zootopia who dedicated their passion into creating a classic animated film for the 21st century!  Thank you!  And may more success for animation follow!

 

PS: We all a BP nomination for animation is LONG WAY OVERDUE!

Forget the billion, never though Zootopia could reach $750M!

May be a technicality, but would Frozen be considered an original movie, since it's based on existing material (The Ice Queen)?

I think that $968M for The Lion King must be a typo......

 

If only BOM fixes the WW-gross for TLK and updates it to a higher gross. I'm not satisfied with that $968M, tbh.

Nope, it's for real.

Zootopia's debut in Turkey is this Friday. I'm actually really curious to see how it does there.

Looks unlikely to reach $1B by Sunday, but it will do it mid-week.

I think it actually will reach $1B by Sunday, although we might have to wait for the actuals to come in on Monday.

 

As of Tuesday, May 3: $993.8M. By Sunday, add in about $0.7M from domestic and $0.5M from OS-Japan, $995M. Requires $5M from Japan to hit $1B. Assume that Monday's gross from Japan is included in the OS total. Tuesday + Wednesday in Japan about $0.9M. Thursday to Sunday then requires $4.1M, seems very doable. Last week Thurs-Sun was $4.7M.

With domestic estimates for Friday, Zootopia is actually on track to do about .9M-1M which means (assuming all your other numbers are accurate) Japan would only need 3.8-3.9 from Thursday-Sunday. Definite possibility. *Fingers crossed*

Japan grossed $0.6M from Thursday to Friday and looks to be on track for $3.3M this weekend based on Saturday's drop. Unless OS-Japan fails to deliver, $1B is happening this weekend.

 

OS-Japan was ~$1M last week, so I don't think $0.4-$0.5M is too much to ask.

YYYEEESS! $1B very soon! Way to go, Zoozoo!!
