Moana 2premiered on digital several weeks ago, and the Disney sequel is finally winding down its run at the box office after becoming one of only three films to gross over $1 billion globally.Moana 2finished this most recent weekend at the box office in the #13 spot, which is unsurprising considering it was its 12th weekend in theaters, and theDwayne Johnson-led animated film currently stands at a domestic total of $457 million and an international total of $586 million, bringing it to a worldwide cumulative haul of $1.044 billion. After earning only $1 million this weekend and falling fast, it appearsMoana 2will fall short of reaching $1.05 billion, the first true milestone after reaching $1 billion globally.
Moana 2premiered a few days before Thanksgiving and shattered records on its way to earning over $220 million domestically over the holiday week, including a $139 million opening weekend that saw it easily take the first place spot.Moana 2then proceeded to earn $51 million during its second weekend in theaters and $26 million during its third weekend, drops of 63% and 48% that still weren’t enough for it to lose the top spot. It wasn’t until the weekend of December 20, nearly one month after its premiere, thatMoana 2finally handed the top spot at the box office toSonic the Hedgehog 3, which debuted alongsideMufasa: The Lion King.Moana 2also fell behindWickedthe week of December 20, with the animated sequel grossing $13 million and theCynthia Erivo-led musical earning $14 million.
Is ‘Moana 2’ on Streaming Yet?
Moana 2made its digital debut on January 28, and it has since been one of the most popular movies on VOD since, competing with other goliaths likeGladiator 2andDen of Thieves 2: Pantera, but it has yet to be announced when it will begin streaming on Disney+. Disney generally releases its movies on streaming around 100 days after they debut in theaters —Deadpool & Wolverinepremiered on July 26 and hit Disney+ on November 12 (109 days) — and ifMoana 2follows a similar model, the film will likely premiere on the streamer sometime in the middle of March.
Moana 2is still playing in select theaters, and the film is also available on VOD. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates and watchMoana 2onPrime Video.
