Moana 2’s weekend actuals came in higher than previously reported. It has not only surpassed Despicable Me 4’s $969.4 million global haul but also beaten Oppenheimer’s collection as one of the top 10 highest-grossing films post-COVID. Scroll below for the deets.
Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer was released in 2023 and was the third highest-grossing film of the year. The Oscar-winning movie collected $977 million in its global run, making it the ninth highest-grossing film post-COVID. The Disney sequel has been keeping up good momentum at the cinemas despite facing worthy competition.
The movie surpassed Toy Story 4’s domestic haul of $434 million during this weekend and became the seventh highest-grossing animation of all time at the US box office. According to Luiz Fernando’s report, Moana 2 collected a strong $6.5 million on the seventh three-day weekend, taking the domestic cume to $434.9 million. The report claimed it is eyeing a $465million to $475 million run in the United States.
Now, the weekend actuals for the film’s overseas gross are here, and it came in higher. The Disney sequel collected $11.6 million across over 53 markets in its seventh weekend. Therefore, the film’s international cume stands at $555.4 million, and allied to the domestic cume of $434.9 million, the global gross mounted to a staggering $990.3 million. It is now around $10 million away from the $1 billion milestone. It will achieve that mark next week.
Moana 2 has, therefore, surpassed Oppenheimer’s global haul. The 2023 blockbuster collected $977 million, and the Moana sequel is now the ninth highest-grossing film post-COVID. It was released in theatres on November 29.
