Moana 2 Domestic Box Office Nearing Major Milestone The Original Disney Movie Missed Internationally

This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

Moana 2 is approaching a huge domestic milestone. The new Disney animated movie is the sequel to their 2016 smash hit and follows the title character (Auli'i Cravalho) reuniting with the demigod Maui (Dwayne Johnson) for a brand-new adventure. The Moana 2 release began the day before U.S. Thanksgiving, but it has continued to thrive through the Christmas holiday weekend, maintaining the No. 1 position for three consecutive weeks and keeping a spot in the Top 5 through its fifth weekend so far.

Per Deadline, as of Saturday morning, the Moana 2 box office is projected to reach a cumulative domestic total of $394.2 million by the end of the post-Christmas weekend. This sees the movie drawing ever closer to the $400 million domestic milestone, which only three movies (the record-breakers Inside Out 2, Deadpool & Wolverine, and Wicked) have passed so far in 2024. The original movie was unable to pass this milestone in either market, as it earned $248.7 million in North America and $643.3 million internationally.
