As a gamer who’s spent countless hours immersed in virtual worlds and movie franchises alike, I can’t help but feel like I’m standing at the edge of a grand adventure as Disney’s Moana 2 prepares for its global debut. The anticipation is palpable, with projections pointing towards a record-breaking Thanksgiving box office performance that has me on the edge of my seat!
As a gaming enthusiast, I can’t help but feel the excitement bubbling up inside me as Disney’s Moana 2 gears up for its grand global premiere! Rumors are swirling that this animation sequel is set to break records during the upcoming Thanksgiving season at the box office. The buzz around it is palpable, with domestic presales and international demand reaching an all-time high.
Moana 2 predicted to open with $225 million at global box office
According to Deadline, it’s anticipated that the global box office earnings for Disney’s Moana 2 will surpass $225 million during its first weekend of release.
Over the five-day Thanksgiving period, the movie is projected to earn between $125 million and $135 million domestically, as well as $100 million from international markets. Previews start in the US on Tuesday, followed by a global release beginning Wednesday. The film intends to break the Thanksgiving record, possibly outperforming Frozen II’s five-day earnings of $125 million.
Eight years have passed since the original Moana graced our screens and raked in an impressive $643.3M globally. Now, I’m eagerly anticipating the release of Moana 2, which aims to captivate a wide audience with its screening across 4,100 domestic theaters, 300 IMAX screens, and a whopping 700 premium large format venues. To top it off, it’s set to be shown in stunning 3D at approximately 2,200 locations! Pre-sales for this sequel have already surpassed those of Frozen II and The Super Mario Bros. Movie, indicating a strong demand from families and enthusiasts alike, making me even more excited for its release.
Worldwide, the distribution of Moana 2 will reach approximately 94% of its global reach by this coming Friday. Notable countries where it will be screened are France, South Korea, Italy, Germany, and China. Similar to the initial release strategy of Moana, it is being rolled out gradually, having achieved success in territories like Japan, France, and Brazil. Titles similar to Moana 2, such as Finding Dory and The Incredibles 2, also experienced strong debuts in comparable regions.
Over the holiday break, Moana 2 will go head-to-head with Universal’s Wicked and Paramount’s Gladiator II. Both movies have already shown strong potential at the box office. With a family-friendly running time of just 100 minutes, Moana 2 brings back beloved characters such as Maui (played by Dwayne Johnson). This mix of familiar faces is likely to draw a broad audience.
As of now, reviews for Moana 2 are scarce, but its premieres in Maui and London indicate Disney’s aggressive marketing efforts. Predictions suggest it could compete with top Thanksgiving animated releases. The international audience and the franchise’s popularity will play significant roles. Ultimately, its success depends on how well it resonates with holiday viewers.
