In detail, Moana 2 generated $221 million domestically in just three days, only on American soil. It must be said that the release of the film, timed for the Thanksgiving period, allowed families to go to cinemas to discover this highly anticipated sequel for children. The record was previously held by Frozen 2 and its 125 million dollars in 2019 and even allows itself to do better than Super Mario Bros. which had generated 205.6 million dollars in 2023. And when we know that cinema complexes will program the film throughout the month of December, and certainly in January again, in order to take advantage of the Christmas holidays, there are strong chances for Vaiana 2 to beat the record of Vice-Versa 2 and its almost 1.7 billion dollars at the worldwide box office. At the Jeuxactu editorial team, we are almost convinced that Vaiana 2 will exceed 2 billion at the end of its career.
But it is not only in the United States that Vaiana 2 is shattering records, France too, since it is the second country to have generated a tidal wave with more than 2 million entries in just 5 days. “Moana 2 far exceeded our high expectations and is a testament to the phenomenon that Moana has become. It’s a moment to celebrate, and we are grateful to all the moviegoers and fans who helped make this film’s record-breaking launch.” rejoices the co-president of Disney Entertainment, in a press release sent this morning. Enough to wring the neck of the somewhat ‘medium’ reviews from the press and the few influencers who were not included in this sequel. In any case, taking into account the post-credits scene, it is obvious that Moana is a license on which Disney can rely in the same way as Frozen.
