Disney's Zootopia scored the largest three-day opening for Walt Disney Animation Studios ever as audiences flocked to see the new animated feature. London Has Fallen and Tina Fey's war comedy Whiskey Tango Foxtrot served as the weekend's other new wide releases and both largely scored as expected. Additionally, Deadpool has joined a small group of films, becoming only the third R-rated movie to gross over $300 million at the domestic box office.

In IMAX the film brought in $5.2 million from 366 screens, the second best »
