Disney's 'Moana 2' Box Office Projection Revealed

According to Deadline, the sequel is tracking to earn $105 million - $115 million over its 5-day Wednesday to Sunday opening weekend, and $75 million - $82 million of that during its Friday-Sunday weekend at the domestic box office. The website reported tracking service Quorum's projection.

The first Moana opened to $82 million over 5 days, including $56.6 million during Friday-Sunday, in 2016 and went to gross $248+ million at the North American box office.

If the projections for the movie hold true, this will mark the biggest opening for a movie released just before Thanksgiving weekend, beating Disney's Frozen which grossed $93.5 million upon its Wednesday release in 2013.

Deadline reports that the above-mentioned projections for Moana 2 line up with the success of the marketing materials Disney has unveiled so far, including the first trailer which is Disney's most-watched ever for an animated movie with 178 million views in the first 24 hours.
