"Zootopia" Smashes Disney Record on Opening Weekend; Purple MagicBands Are Now on My Disney Experience

"Zootopia" Smashes Record on Opening Weekend at the Box Office:


Disney seems to have another animated hit on it's hands with "Zootopia" smashing a record for a Disney animated film on opening weekend previously held by "Frozen." Disney's "Zootopia" opened in theaters on Friday in 3,827 locations and debuted to a record $73.7 million over the total weekend.

It was also the fourth-largest March opening at the Box Office ever. The previous record for a Disney Animated movie was held by "Frozen" which made $67.4 million in its opening weekend. Overseas, "Zootopia" has already been playing for three weeks and raked in an additional $63.4 million to its total globally, which now stands at $235.5 million.

"Zootopia" has potential to be a big hit as next family film won't be until April when Disney releases it's next live-action remake in "The Jungle Book." That film doesn't hit theaters until April 15. Disney's distribution chief Dave Hollis said, "There's an absence of competition. We are set up to have a big, big run."

While I have not yet seen "Zootopia" it is on the schedule and after the glowing reviews its received, (98% on Rotten Tomatoes currently) I can't wait to see this Disney animated hit. Look for a review on Disney's Zootopia coming soon on the blog.

Purple MagicBands are Now on My Disney Experience:


Attention Attention! We have a Code Purple. Yes, the Purple MagicBand is now available on My Disney Experience. Guests when choosing the color of their MagicBands will now have the choice of  purple. No other colors have been added. Red, orange, yellow, green, pink, blue, and grey are all still available.

The Purple MagicBand has been probably the most talked about color not on the list since the release of MagicBands. Now when you are booking your trip, you will be able to customize your MagicBand to purple.
