For Good Is Slammed With Brutal Drop

Zootopia 2 is topping the domestic chart over Thanksgiving weekend while Wicked: For Good is hit by a major sophomore slump. 2025’s Zootopia 2, which opened on the Wednesday before American Thanksgiving, is the sequel to Disney’s 2016 animated smash hit Zootopia, which took place in a city populated with anthropomorphic animals and which grossed more than $1 billion worldwide.

Zootopia 2 debuted just five days after Wicked: For Good kicked off its opening weekend, taking in a massive $147 million 3-day haul that gave the movie the highest-grossing domestic debut for a Broadway musical adaptation in history.

Per Deadline, as of Saturday morning, Zootopia 2 is projected to earn a 3-day total of roughly $98 million by the end of Sunday and a 5-day Thanksgiving weekend total between $152 and $156 million. This is more than enough for the Disney sequel to take No. 1 at the domestic box office for the weekend.

Meanwhile, 2025’s Wicked: For Good is expected to earn a 3-day total of $63.3 million and a 5-day total of $93.5 million. This gross is enough to push its cumulative domestic haul to $270.9 million, making it the seventh highest-grossing domestic release of 2025 after just two weekends in theaters.

However, this total also sees Wicked: For Good dropping a brutal 57%, which is more than double the week-on-week drop of the original Wicked, which debuted in the same pre-Thanksgiving frame in 2024 and fell just 27.9% during the 3-day Thanksgiving weekend.
