‘Moana 2’ To Catch A Big Wave Over Thanksgiving With Potential $100M+ 5-Day Opening; $75M+ 3-Day – Box Office Early Look
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Disney’s Moana 2 landed on long-lead tracking this morning and it’s looking to do $100M+ over its Wednesday through Sunday opening, $75M-$82M of that during its Friday-Sunday portion.
These figures come from tracking service Quorum. The first Moana back in 2016 opened to $82M over five days ultimately grossing $248.7M stateside.
If the Moana 2 forecasts stay firm, it’s a fantastic comeback for Disney which has typically owned the Thanksgiving Day stretch with all-mass animated film, but has seen any big luster since 2019’s Frozen 2‘s did $125M — the biggest take for any movie playing over the Thanksgiving holiday in U.S./Canada.
Also at $100M+ (Quorum technically sees $105M-$115M), that would rep the biggest opening for a movie opening on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving — that record belonging to Disney’s 2013 Frozen with $93.5M (Frozen 2 opened the Friday before Thanksgiving).
