Zootopia roared to a $19.5 million Friday at the North American box office, where it now looks to earn a record $70 million-plus for the weekend.

Zootopia is all but assured of besting Frozen to score the biggest three-day debut of all time for Disney Animation Studios, as well as scoring the top March opening for an animated film, not to mention one of the top starts for any film.

That’s no small feat, considering Zootopia is original content. And in 2013, Frozen had the advantage of launching over the Thanksgiving holiday when grossing $67.4 million during its first weekend in nationwide release.
