The sequel to Disney's 2016 hit, Moana 2, is on track to become one of the highest-grossing domestic movies of all time. The animated film, starring Auli'i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson, has maintained its No. 1 position at the box office for three consecutive weeks and is projected to reach a domestic total of $394.2 million by the end of the post-Christmas weekend.
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 reuniting with the demigod Maui 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.
What This Means For Moana 2 The Movie Is An Undeniable Success The Moana 2 box office has reached untold heights, surpassing $800 million worldwide at the time of writing and showing very few signs of slowing down. It is very likely to hit the $400 million domestic milestone before it hits its seventh weekend in domestic theaters, a point at which the original movie had only made $225.3 million in North America. This will make it one of the 50 highest-grossing domestic movies of all time.
Given the lead that the sequel has maintained over the 2016 movie after debuting with $139.8 million compared to the original's $56.6 million, it seems entirely possible that Moana 2 could reach a total domestic gross as high as $500 million by the end of its run.
