Do parents really take their kids to see the same movie multiple times? My parents never did. Multiple viewings when it is available to watch at home make sense, but going to a theater wasn't a spur of the moment activity at least for my home.

How much of this is actually ticket inflation? I wish these things were tracked by viewers than revenue.

Frozen 2 was released in 2019; according to google, the average movie ticket price was $9.16 (in the US). In 2025, the average ticket price is between $11.31 and $16.08 depending on source (again according to google). Since it only beat out Frozen by 10 million dollars, the inflation is the reason Zootopia 2 won that particular comparison.

On the other hand one could also argue that more people would have seen it if the tickets had been cheaper, but I think it's a pretty safe bet that inflation is the reason.

All that said, it's just a legitimately good movie. It deserves credit for that.
