Disney's 'Moana 2' Leads Box Office for Third Consecutive Weekend
The animated sequel surpasses $700 million globally, while 'Wicked' and 'Pushpa 2' also perform strongly, and 'Kraven the Hunter' struggles to gain traction.
- 'Moana 2' earned $26.6 million domestically in its third weekend, bringing its global total to $717 million and making it the fourth highest-grossing Disney Animation film ever.
- The film, featuring returning voice actors Auli'i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson, is on track to potentially reach $1 billion globally, pending continued strong performance through the holidays.
- Universal's 'Wicked,' starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, has surpassed $500 million globally and is the year's highest-grossing non-sequel film, bolstered by Golden Globe nominations.
- Sony's 'Kraven the Hunter' had a disappointing $11 million domestic debut, the lowest opening for a Sony-produced Marvel film, following production delays and mixed critical reception.
- Other notable performances include Paramount's 'Gladiator II' nearing $400 million globally and Warner Bros.' anime 'The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim' opening to $4.6 million domestically.
