"Moana 2" has not just navigated the waves but shattered them to become the animated film with the highest five-day opening in history. With a staggering $221 million domestically and over $386 million worldwide, this sequel has proven to be a box office juggernaut, eclipsing even the likes of "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" and setting new benchmarks for Disney Animation Studios.

The Thanksgiving holiday weekend turned into a celebration for Disney as "Moana 2" dominated the box office charts. The film opened with a record-breaking $13.8 million in Tuesday previews, setting the stage for an impressive launch.

In its first five days, "Moana 2" secured the title for the highest five-day opening ever, surpassing the previous record held by "The Super Mario Bros. Movie". This achievement not only sets a new high for animated films but also marks Disney's third film this year to open above $150 million domestically, joining "Inside Out 2" and "Deadpool & Wolverine" in the studio's successful 2024 lineup.

Globally, the film's performance has been equally impressive, with an international haul of $165.3 million, contributing to its near $400 million global debut. This sequel has broken numerous records, including the highest Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday earnings, demonstrating the enduring appeal of Moana and Maui's adventures.

Despite mixed reviews, the audience reception has been overwhelmingly positive, with an A- CinemaScore and a high audience approval on Rotten Tomatoes, suggesting that the magic of Moana continues to captivate families and fans alike. The film's continued success into its second weekend, with an additional $52 million, further cements its position as a box office phenomenon, now surpassing $600 million globally.
