Toronto-based Copperheart Entertainment’s animated Night of the Zoopocalypse has grossed just shy of $2 million at the North American box office since its March 7 release.

Of that total gross, more than $1 million comes from the Canadian box office, according to a release from Elevation Pictures, which handles Canadian distribution for the film. The release also states this is the first English-language Canadian film to reach that box office milestone since Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie in September 2023.

The total Canadian gross as of March 19 is $1,032,515, an Elevation spokesperson told Playback Daily.

Directed by Toronto-based House of Cool co-founder Ricardo Curtis and Mexican-Canadian filmmaker Rodrigo Perez-Castro, the film is based on an original concept from English writer and filmmaker Clive Barker. It is written by James Kee and Copperheart’s Steve Hoban and produced by Copperheart and France’s Charades Productions. It is coproduced by Belgium’s U Media in association with House of Cool.

The film follows a wolf who teams up with a mountain lion to escape their zoo after a meteor crashes into it and begins to turn the animals into zombies.

Night of the Zoopocalypse stars Gabbi Kosmidis, Paul Sun Hyung-Lee and Scott Thompson.

Kazoo Films acquired U.K. rights to the film in February, with plans to release it around Halloween.
