Walt Disney Animation’s Moana 2 continues to dominate the box office, earning a staggering $28 million on Thanksgiving Day alone. The animated sequel has brought new life to the movie industry, which has seen few blockbuster successes in recent years, according to a report by Variety.
The film is projected to rake in at least $175 million during the five-day holiday week, surpassing previous records set by Frozen II in 2019 ($125 million) and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire in 2013 ($109 million). Industry insiders suggest Moana 2 could achieve even greater heights, potentially exceeding $200 million domestically by the end of its first five days.
So far, the movie has earned $85.5 million in the U.S. alone, already breaking records for Thanksgiving releases. It has outshined Frozen II, which grossed $15 million during the same holiday period five years ago.
