LOS ANGELES, March 20 (Xinhua) -- Disney's Zootopia got a weekend box office from 3,740 theaters in North America of 38 million dollars, securing its leading position, industry data showed on Sunday.

Zootopia accounted for nearly 32 percent of the weekend's top 12 movies' total of 119 million. The animated film's domestic overall reached 201.8 million, while globally it has got 591.7 million dollars.

It grossed 173.4 million dollars in China in around half month after it debuted on March 4, becoming the most successful animated film of all time.

The new comer Allegiant of The Divergent Series did not meet the expectation of Lionsgate on the opening weekend, taking in only 29 million dollars. It was down over 44 percent from its predecessor Insurgent.

Ranking in the third place of the North American box office was Sony's latest faith-based feature Miracles from Heaven, which outperformed the studio's expectations with 15 million dollars.
