'Moana 2' has not only resonated with its core demographic of families but also with fans of the franchise who were eager to see Moana and Maui's next adventure. The film's success is also attributed to its release strategy, aligning with a holiday period known for family gatherings and cinema outings, which has historically boosted attendance.

Moreover, the film's marketing, including events like the SF Moana 2 x Mixxiw Event, played a significant role in building anticipation and engagement. Such events, filled with fan interactions and celebrity appearances, have helped maintain the franchise's momentum in the public eye.
