Hey everyone! Exciting news for Disney fans and moviegoers— Moana 2 has just made a spectacular debut, smashing box office records for animated films. Released on November 27, 2024, this sequel opened with an impressive $13.8 million in preview screenings on Tuesday. That figure is not only the highest for a Walt Disney Animation movie but also the second-largest for any animated feature, right behind Pixar’s Incredibles 2 . To put it in perspective, recent hits like Inside Out 2 and Toy Story 4 trailed slightly in their preview earnings.
The film is set to rake in an estimated $135–$145 million over its first five days. If it reaches the higher end of these projections, it could break Thanksgiving records, surpassing the $125 million five-day haul of Frozen II . For Disney, this is a huge win, especially as the company brings beloved characters Moana and Maui back to the big screen in an exhilarating new adventure.
Speaking of the story, Moana 2 reunites audiences with Moana, voiced by Auliʻi Cravalho, and Maui, brought to life by Dwayne Johnson, on a daring voyage into the uncharted waters of Oceania. This time, Moana is driven by an ancestral calling to explore mysterious and dangerous territories. The film introduces a vibrant supporting cast, including Moana's endearing younger sister Simea and a new crew of seafarers. With music composed by Grammy winners Abigail Barlow, Emily Bear, and Mark Mancina, the soundtrack promises to be as memorable as the original.
Despite reviews being slightly less enthusiastic compared to the first film, fans are flooding theaters, proving that Moana's legacy as a cultural icon remains strong. And with other big releases like Wicked and Gladiator II also performing well, theaters are gearing up for a blockbuster Thanksgiving weekend.
So, what will you be watching? Whether it’s Moana’s latest quest or another holiday hit, it’s great to see audiences embracing the magic of cinema this season!
