How much has Moana 2 made at the box office?

As a die-hard movie buff who’s seen more films than I can count, I must say that Moana 2 has truly outshone its competitors and left a lasting impression at the box office. From its humble beginnings as a TV show concept to its grandeur transformation into a blockbuster movie, this sequel has been nothing short of spectacular.

In a surprising turn of events, Moana 2 has successfully fended off the powerful competition from Wicked and Gladiator II, propelling it to unprecedented successes at the box office.

Initially conceived as a TV series, the sequel was transformed into a movie following its impactful impression on Disney executives, securing it a theatrical release. This move has proven to be highly beneficial, as Moana 2 now holds the record for the largest Thanksgiving opening at the U.S. box office.

In its second weekend, the sequel of Moana has kept up the impressive showing, but if you haven’t been tracking its earnings at the box office, you might find it hard to believe how much money Moana 2 has already accumulated.

Here’s where we step in, presenting the recent ticket sales numbers for the much-anticipated sequel, Moana 2. Additionally, we offer insights into the factors that made its triumph a predictable outcome.

How much money has Moana 2 made?

After two weekends of release, here’s how much Moana 2 has made as of December 8, 2024:

US box office: $300,039,013
International box office: $300,000,000
Global box office: $600,039,013

Previously stated, the sequel of Moana, namely Moana 2, set sail to break records by having the largest opening for Thanksgiving at U.S. box offices with an impressive five-day debut totaling $225.2 million. This figure also stands as the highest ever recorded for a five-day box office start.

Over its first weekend in the U.S., the film earned an impressive $135.5 million within three days, making it the all-time highest opening weekend for any Walt Disney Animation production, surpassing the earnings of Frozen II.

Not only did I find myself utterly captivated by it, but little did I know that the release of Moana 2 set new standards in animation. It raked in a staggering $389 million globally, making it the highest-grossing animation debut ever, outshining The Super Mario Bros Movie’s impressive $377 million, which also saw a significant boost from its five-day US opening.

Over the course of its second weekend, “Moana 2” achieved the highest earning weekend for a post-Thanksgiving release, which are usually quieter periods at the U.S. box office. The film grossed an impressive $52 million, bringing its total earnings to $300 million.

In the U.S. box office, it has surpassed the $248.7 million earnings of Moana and is poised to outdo the worldwide revenue of the initial film, which was $643.3 million.

Could it be intriguing to you why the success of Moana 2 outshines the moderate performance of the initial film? Well, there’s a straightforward explanation that makes sense given past trends.

Why has Moana 2 been a box-office hit?

As a gamer, I’d say that Moana didn’t quite match up to the box office success of Frozen from 2013, earning only around half of its impressive $1.28 billion total during its initial release.

But even Anna and Elsa can’t compete with Moana‘s recent success.

As reported by The Wall Street Journal, the animated film “Moana” has been watched for over a billion hours since its debut on streaming services. (Previously, it could be streamed on Netflix before Disney+ was introduced in 2019.)

That amounts to one person watching the movie 775 million times, or watching Moana for “150,000 years straight”. In the US, it was one of the most-watched movies in 2020, 2021 and 2022, then it was the most-watched movie in 2023.

In simpler terms, Moana has been one of the top 10 most-streamed movies approximately 60% of the time since Nielsen began publishing weekly lists in 2020, making it the movie watched the most over the past five years when combined across all streaming platforms.

Take that, Elsa.

It’s not surprising that young fans who are still captivated by Moana eight years after its release might be eager to catch Moana 2 in the theater.

Leveraging one of the busiest movie-going weeks in the U.S. (as Frozen II demonstrated in 2019), it’s no surprise that Moana 2 was poised to set sail towards unprecedented box office victories.

As Christmas approaches and it looks like we won’t be seeing “Moana 2” on Disney+ for a while yet, it’s hard to predict just how successful the sequel might become.

Moana (the first one) is available to stream on Disney+.
