Box Office: ‘Moana 2’ Earns Gigantic $28 Million on Thanksgiving Day, Shattering Holiday Records


'Moana 2' continued its record-breaking box office run, earning $28 million on Thanksgiving, as 'Wicked' and 'Gladiator II' also performed well.

Walt Disney Animation’s “ Moana 2 ” continued on its record-shattering path, earning a massive $28 million on Thanksgiving, while lifting the fortunes of a movie business that hasn’t had much to celebrate in recent years. Then, last year’s Hollywood strikes, which also saw screenwriters hit the picket lines alongside performers, ground production to a standstill, leaving studios with fewer movies to put in theaters. In December, Paramount will release “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” and Disney will offer up “Mufasa: The Lion King,” but there’s not another “Avatar” or a major Marvel movie to truly put theaters in a festive frame of mind.
