‘Moana 2’ Sails to $386 Million, Second-Biggest Global Debut of 2024 Behind ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’


Global ticket sales for "Moana 2" stand as the second-biggest worldwide opening of the year after Disney's "Deadpool & Wolverine."

Ticket sales for the animated family film stand as the second-biggest worldwide opening of the year after Disney’s billion-dollar Marvel behemoth “Deadpool & Wolverine” ($438 million). Auli’i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson reprise their voice roles as the eponymous heroine (who is not a princess) and the tattooed demigod Maui in the sequel, which picks up as Moana journeys far into the ocean to find a hidden island and break a curse. The R-rated tentpole also carries a massive budget, this one above $250 million before promotional efforts, so “Gladiator II” needs to remain in the global box office arena through the holidays to justify its cost.
