Take with a grain of salt, but what i found is that its about 297 million domestic 5 day weekend now. That moves the projected 2025 domestic numbers to be now around 9.2-9.3 billion, about 500-600 million more than 2024 (2024 with inflation based on the estimated ticket price increase most used would be 9.0 billion). At least according to what I found.

Once again context matters, its only "ahead" if you count the 2024 hold overs that continued to play into 2025.
If you look at in-calendar releases only, 2025 has fallen even further behind than it was at the end of September, now ~10% behind -

2025 in-calendar doesn't look to beat 2024 in-calendar.

It was a creative and financial risk for Universal to split Wicked into 2 movies, but so far it has paid off, at least financially
For Good is now at about $400 million worldwide. Over $500 million is likely, we'll see if it gets to $600 million
That's still less than the $758 million part 1 has made, but combined, even with the enormous $350-$375 million production budget, the whole 2-movie release will still be profitable. Helps too that the money skews domestic.

There will for sure be a third eventually. I’m not cynical about it, serialized detective work is a perfectly fine foundation for more. As long as they resist the urge to produce them too quickly. These 7-10 year sequels seem to be a real sweet spot for demand.

I just flew in from Bend, Oregon, and boy, are my arms tired! 
Here's the first pass at box office for the 4 Day Thanksgiving Weekend. Zootopia 2 from WDAS ended its 6 day holiday weekend run with $156 Million domestic. Predator: Badlands from 20th Century didn't crack $5 Million in its 4th weekend. And something called Rental Familiy from Disney's Searchlight Pictures just crested $2 Million over the long holiday weekend.
More brilliant insight and cherry-picked data
to come tomorrow, after the world returns to the work week..

Domestic estimate for Zootopia 2 inched up to $158M with updates to Sunday’s gross
Wow. Going to hit 1 billion by next weekend?

I assume they mean by the weekend of the 13-14th, not this weekend of the 6-7th as that would be huge.

It’s wild that a Disney animated film did so much more business in China than in the U.S. (during a long holiday weekend, no less).
Got me wondering, is there any precedent for a Disney animated title opening to more in China than in the U.S.?

No, there is no precedent.
Of the nearly $1.7 billion Inside Out 2 made, only $47 million total came from China according to Box Office Mojo
Frozen 2 made $122 million, But the $52 million opening was nowhere near what happened in the USA
Zootopia 1 made $236 million in China, but had a $23 million opening

Without even looking it up, given its the largest opening of all time in the Middle Kingdom for a US animated movie I would guess the answer is no.

I didn’t care about the first one. I didn’t dislike it, but it wasn’t that great. Is this worth my time?
