Moana 2 has taken the world by storm, breaking box office records left and right. No one can deny the massive success of this highly anticipated sequel, which has been praised as "absolutely stunning" by critics. Despite receiving a modest 65% on Rotten Tomatoes, it has raked in an impressive $386.3 million worldwide in its opening weekend.
In the United States alone, Moana 2 has smashed the highest five-day opening record, previously held by The Super Mario Bros Movie. With a whopping $221 million in the US, it has even surpassed the opening weekend numbers of Frozen 2, another beloved Disney film. And it doesn't stop there - Moana 2 has also set the record for the most successful Thanksgiving weekend release, surpassing Frozen 2's $125 million.
Not only has Moana 2 dominated the holiday box office, but it has also become the highest-grossing Black Friday film, bringing in $54.5 million. It seems like there's no stopping this film from breaking records and exceeding expectations. As if that wasn't enough, it even holds the record for the biggest opening weekend for a Walt Disney Animation film, beating out Frozen 2's $130.3 million.
The movie picks up eight years after the first, with Moana now a legendary figure in her community. She embarks on a new adventure with Maui to break a curse on a hidden island. The stunning visuals and captivating story have received high praise from critics, with Metro describing the film as "absolutely stunning" and "gorgeous."
Despite its success, Moana 2 did not receive the best score on Rotten Tomatoes. However, this has not deterred fans from flocking to the theaters to see it. And with the possibility of a third film in the works, co-director Jason Hand has not ruled out the potential for more stories to be told in this magical world.
But that's not all - fans have even more to look forward to with a live-action remake of the original Moana movie set to hit theaters next year. Dwayne Johnson, who voices Maui, is excited to reprise his role and continue his successful career in both Hollywood and the wrestling world.
With its record-breaking numbers and a highly anticipated live-action remake, it's safe to say that Moana 2 has captured the hearts of audiences everywhere. And who knows, maybe there will be even more adventures for Moana and Maui in the future. The possibilities are endless for this beloved franchise, and fans can't wait to see what's in store next.
