‘Moana 2’ Sets New Post-Holiday Box Office Records in Second Weekend

The Disney sequel continues its global box office dominance, nearing $600 million in total earnings despite upcoming competition.

‘Moana 2’ is projected to gross $60 million domestically and $65-75 million internationally in its second weekend, bringing its global total to an estimated $575-590 million.
The film has surpassed 'Frozen 2' to achieve the highest post-Thanksgiving weekend box office in history, nearly doubling the previous record of $35 million set in 2019.
Universal's 'Wicked' also performed strongly, securing the second-highest early December weekend gross with $40 million domestically and a global total of over $420 million so far.
Box office analysts predict significant competition for 'Moana 2' later in December, with major releases like 'Mufasa: The Lion King' and 'Sonic the Hedgehog 3' expected to divert audiences.
Despite potential challenges, 'Moana 2' remains on track to surpass $1 billion globally, solidifying its status as one of the year’s top-grossing films.
