Moana 2 Domestic Box Office Approaches Major Milestone Exceeded by Original Disney Film Internationally

Moana 2 Approaches Major Box Office Milestone

The highly anticipated sequel, Moana 2, is soon set to achieve a remarkable domestic box office milestone. This Disney animated feature builds on the success of its 2016 predecessor, showcasing the beloved title character, Moana (voiced by Auli’i Cravalho), as she embarks on a new adventure alongside the demigod Maui (Dwayne Johnson). Since its release just before U.S. Thanksgiving, the film has not only maintained momentum through the holiday season but has also captured the number one spot at the box office for three straight weeks, remaining in the Top 5 during its fifth weekend run.

Box Office Success and Projections

According to Deadline, Moana 2 is projected to achieve a cumulative domestic total of $394.2 million by the conclusion of the post-Christmas weekend. This remarkable figure puts the film on the cusp of the elusive $400 million domestic milestone. Notably, only three films released in 2024—those being the record-setting Inside Out 2, Deadpool & Wolverine, and Wicked—have managed to surpass this benchmark. For context, the original Moana fell short of this milestone, collecting $248.7 million domestically and $643.3 million globally.
