Walt Disney Animation’s hit film Moana 2 is setting new benchmarks in its second weekend, nearing a remarkable global total of $600 million.

The sequel confidently holds the top spot with an estimated three-day revenue of $50 million to $55 million — by far the highest earnings ever recorded for the weekend following Thanksgiving. The prior record was held by another Disney film, Frozen II, with $35.1 million, not accounting for inflation.

Universal’s Wicked remains a strong contender, expected to earn an additional $32.7 million in its third weekend. The combined success of these films, alongside Paramount’s Gladiator II, is anticipated to boost total domestic earnings by 100 percent compared to the same period in 2023. Just a few weeks back, there were concerns in Hollywood that the annual revenue might not surpass $8 billion, in contrast to $9 billion last year. Now, it appears that the revenue might reach between $8.5 billion and $8.6 billion, reflecting a shortfall of 4 percent.
