‘Moana 2’ Becomes One of the 50 Highest-Grossing Movies of All Time

‘Moana 2’ is closing off its run at the box office after nine weekends in theatres, following its digital premiere. The movie has so far made $450 million at home and $575 million abroad, for a total of $1.02 billion worldwide. This feat puts ‘Moana 2’ at number 49 in the top 50 highest-grossing films of all time, behind ‘Despicable Me 3’ but just ahead of ‘Alice in Wonderland’.
‘Moana 2’ has achieved success in several other box office categories in addition to making it to the top 50. Although it currently lags behind ‘Frozen 2’ and ‘Finding Dory’, it has surpassed ‘Shrek 2’ and ‘Toy Story 4’ to become one of the top six digitally animated films in the United States.

‘Moana 2’ is also one of the top four domestically grossing films of 2024, trailing only ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ and ‘Inside Out 2’, and over $20 million behind the musical ‘Wicked’, which stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. The movie, which recently surpassed ‘Alice in Wonderland’ but is still behind ‘Aladdin’, has also earned a place in the top 25 highest-grossing Disney films in the country.
‘Moana 2’ is presently the third most watched movie on the OTT platform, after ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 3’ at the top and ‘Wicked’ at number two. Despite only being out digitally for a few days, ‘Moana 2’ is probably going to take the top spot as more people buy it at home. ‘Gladiator 2’ and ‘Den of Thieves 2: Pantera’ are among the other movies in the top 10 on OTT’s purchased ranking.
‘Moana 2’ is currently streaming on digital platforms, however, it is still showing in some theatres. Watch ‘Moana 2’ on OTT.
