Box Office: 'Zootopia' Takes Top Spot With Record Breaking Opening, 'Deadpool' Crosses $300 Million

While the R-rated "Deadpool" dominated the box office for the past three weeks, the demographic pendulum swung all the way in other direction as the superhero film was finally knocked out of the top spot.

Disney's "Zootopia," which was already doing very strong numbers overseas, opened domestically, and broke Walt Disney Animation Studio's three-day opening record, hauling in $73.7 million. It's the ninth largest animated opening ever, set the record for the biggest animated March opening of all time, and you can chalk it up to a combination of good reviews coupled with being in the right place at the right time. With nothing else out there for families at the multiplex, the audience was clearly ready for something to bring the kids to, and Disney delivered. And the film's solid A-grade Cinemascore likely means some very good legs for this one which has already earned over $230 million in total worldwide.
