It’s no secret thatMoana 2has been one of the biggest success stories of the year at the box office, and the film is closing in on another animated hit from 2024 that has been raking in cash for two months. As of the latest numbers coming in for Monday, December 2,Moana 2has grossed $231 million domestically and $173 million internationally fora cumulative haul of over $400 million worldwide. This $173 million in foreign markets is particularly interesting, as it not only puts the film in the top 20 highest-grossing movies of the year internationally but alsoroughly $5 million behindThe Wild Robot, another major animated hit that currently stands at a $321 million worldwide haul.The Wild Robothas earned more thanMoana 2internationally, but much less domestically, with its current total in the U.S. at $142 million.
This is far from the only box office accomplishment thatMoana 2has claimed after only one full week in theaters. It opened with a whopping $139 million during its first weekend, which amounted toa $225 million domestic total during the five-day Thanksgiving opening, the highest of any movie ever.Moana 2is also already one of the top 10 highest-grossing movies of the year at the domestic box office, currently sitting in the #8 spot after recently passingGodzilla x Kong: The New EmpireandKung Fu Panda 4, but just narrowly trailingWickedandDune: Part Two. It is also already one of the 100 highest-grossing sequels of all time, falling in the #93 spot but set to rise further in the coming weeks.
When Will ‘Moana 2’ Begin Streaming?
Disney has not yet announced whenMoana 2will begin streaming, and it will likely be some time before this information is made available considering the film’s impressive box office numbers. Disney is also attached to the first and second-highest-grossing movies of the year withInside Out 2andDeadpool & Wolverine, and each film began streaming a few months after it first premiered in theaters. IfMoana 2follows a similar path toInside Out 2andDeadpool & Wolverine, it will likely begin streaming on Disney+ sometime around March, or perhaps earlier considering it was originally planned as aDisney+project.
