The critics and audience ratings on the Rotten Tomatoes platform vary slightly, but it is winning hearts in some ways. The critics gave it 65%, while the audience gave it a strong 87%. The critics’ consensus on the esteemed platform read, “Riding high on a wave of stunning animation, even when its story runs adrift, it isn’t as inspired as the original but still delights as a colorful adventure.”
For the unversed, Moana 2 opened in the theatres in North America on Wednesday and has reached a splendid cume in two days. According to Luiz Fernando’s report, the sequel collected a whopping $28 million on Thursday, Thanksgiving. Although it experienced a drop of 51.3% from Wednesday, when it opened in the cinemas, the movie registered the 4th biggest Thursday non-opening day ever, the biggest for animations.
