Zootopia follows the story of a rabbit police officer who lives in a world of talking animals, set in a modern metropolitan city. The Disney animated film currently sits at an extremely fresh 98% on Rotten Tomatoes. Since its release in early March, making $73.7 million in its opening weekend and being the biggest opening for a Disney animated film, as well as the largest opening for an animated film in the month of March, Zootopia continues to make noise. After remaining in the top 10 at the box office for three consecutive months and being named the second highest-grossing film based on an original story, the film has finally reached the $1 billion mark.
Disney has owned the first half of 2016, also benefiting from the overwhelming success of The Jungle Book and Captain America: Civil War. There should be no reason to believe that this trend will stop. We still have another Marvel film to be released in November with Doctor Strange, and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story slated for release in mid-December. According to ScreenRant, of the 26 films to cross $1 billion, 11 of them are Disney products. These include: Star Wars: The Force Awakens, The Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Frozen, Iron-Man 3, Captain America: Civil War, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. Toy Story 3, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Alice in Wonderland, and Zootopia. I think its safe to assume that Doctor Strange and Rogue One will soon be added to that list.
Unfortunately for me, I have yet to see this film (I know, I know, I'm a terrible person). But, given that the Blu-Ray is available on June 7th, that will end very soon! Follow my lead if you have yet to see this film and go buy it! If not, then you just hate Disney.
