It only took five days for Moana 2 to gross $221 million in North America and $165.3 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $386.3 million. Sky seems to be the limit for this film, after it managed to score the highest five-day domestic opening of all time surpassing The Super Mario Bros. Movie at $204.6 million.
Moana 2 hit the theaters just in time for Thanksgiving and broke countless records associated with this holiday. It earned more money than any other movie on Thanksgiving with $28 million, in addition to scoring the highest Thanksgiving debut and weekend. All these records were previously held by another hit Disney sequel—Frozen 2.
Moana 2 sees the titular heroine embarking on the journey to the far seas of Oceania after receiving an unexpected call from her ancestors. Auliʻi Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson lead the film’s voice cast, which also includes Temuera Morrison, Nicole Scherzinger, Rachel House, and Alan Tudyk.
CEO Bob Iger revealed that Moana 2 is coming to theatres on November 27 in a recent interview with CNBC, and that’s not the only amazing news we have about this film. Deadline reports that Auliʻi Cravalho will officially lead the voice cast alongside Dwayne Johnson as Maui.
Despite returning as Moana in this animated sequel, Cravalho won’t star in Disney’s live-action remake, and she’s only coming on board as an executive producer.
“When I was cast as Moana at 14, it wonderfully changed my life and started my career. In this live-action retelling, I will not be reprising the role. I believe it is absolutely vital the casting accurately represents the characters and stories we want to tell,” she explained in a statement when this project was announced last year.
Moana 2 will see the titular heroine embarking on a journey across the far seas after receiving an unexpected call from her ancestors. This sequel was initially conceived as a Disney+ original before the studio decided to shift to a theatrical release date.
