Moana 2 Makes Waves with Record-Breaking Previews!

Disney's animated sequel Moana 2 has set the box office alight even before its official release, with Tuesday previews raking in a staggering $13.8 million. This impressive start not only marks the highest ever for Walt Disney Animation Studios but also positions the film as a strong contender for the Thanksgiving box office crown.

Moana 2 has sailed into theaters with unprecedented enthusiasm, capturing audiences' hearts with its vibrant storytelling and visuals. The film, which was initially developed as a Disney+ series, has seen its fortunes change dramatically, now poised to potentially top the box office performance of Disney's own Frozen II, which currently holds the record for the largest Thanksgiving opening with $125 million over five days.

The excitement for Moana 2 is palpable across social media, where fans have shared their anticipation, and critics have begun to weigh in on the film's merits. Despite mixed reviews, with a 67% average on Rotten Tomatoes, the film's commercial appeal seems undeterred, especially with its strategic release timing during the holiday period known for high cinema attendance.

The preview success of Moana 2 isn't just a win for Disney but a testament to the enduring popularity of Moana's first adventure, which has seen substantial streaming success post-theatrical release. The decision to transition from a streaming series to a theatrical release appears to have paid off, as families and fans alike flock to experience Moana and Maui's new voyage on the big screen.

Industry analysts are buzzing, with projections suggesting a five-day opening haul could reach between $135 million to $145 million. This would not only break Disney's previous Thanksgiving records but also set a new benchmark for animated films in terms of opening weekend earnings. The film's box office journey is also notable for surpassing other recent animated hits like Inside Out 2 in preview earnings, although it still trails behind Incredibles 2 for the highest animated preview total.

Some Closing Thoughts:

With Moana 2, Disney has once again demonstrated its knack for reinventing and expanding its beloved franchises. As the film sets sail into Thanksgiving weekend, it's clear that Moana's journey across the seas of Oceania will continue to capture imaginations and fill theaters, proving that sometimes, the sequel can indeed outshine the original in commercial success.
