Moana 2’s record-breaking ticket presales is good news for Disney

BBG News

As a gamer who has spent countless hours immersed in virtual worlds and animated stories, I must say that the news of Moana 2 breaking day one ticketing records for an animated feature is nothing short of exhilarating! It’s like hearing that my favorite MMORPG just launched an expansion pack with even more quests to embark on.

This week saw the release of tickets for “Moana 2”, and it appears that the follow-up to the 2016 hit animated movie might enjoy similar success, particularly in terms of box office earnings.

1) Fandango, a U.S.-based ticketing service, revealed that the upcoming animated film, Moana 2, set a new record for most day one ticket presales in 2024, outperforming even Inside Out 2, this year’s top-grossing movie. This positive trend in advance ticket sales suggests that Disney could be on the upswing at the box office, as it has faced challenges in recent years.

Furthermore, it’s worth noting that as of now, “Moana 2” holds the fourth spot in first-day pre-sale figures among all films set to release in 2024. It trails behind only “Deadpool & Wolverine,” “Wicked,” and “Dune: Part Two.

Can Moana 2 top Inside Out 2 at the box office?

It hasn’t been disclosed exactly how many tickets have been sold, but breaking records in ticket sales is always positive news. The upcoming film “Moana 2” was already anticipated to be a massive hit due to its status as a follow-up to one of Walt Disney Animation’s most successful and cherished movies. The fact that it has outperformed the first-day advance ticket sales of “Inside Out 2“, which grossed $1.6 billion at the box office, is definitely a promising indicator for the sequel.

Despite some initial doubts about the movie due to its transformation from a planned Disney+ series to a theater release, there appears to be great anticipation among families as they look forward to returning to the island of Motunui and catching up with Moana, Maui, and their friends once more.

Without a doubt, pre-sales for Moana 2 don’t guarantee it will surpass the box office earnings of Inside Out 2, but it’s expected to have a robust opening weekend at the minimum. If it garners positive reviews and generates good word of mouth, then it could enjoy long-term success that extends beyond its Thanksgiving release date.

Is it your plan to catch “Moana 2” at cinemas on November 24th, which happens to be the day preceding Thanksgiving? Would you be interested in attending?
