Box Office: ‘Moana 2’ Easily Toppling Thanksgiving Week Records After Scoring Massive $57.5 Million Opening Day
'Moana 2' is set to destroy Thanksgiving box office records after earning $57.5 million on Wednesday, while 'Wicked' and 'Gladiator II' draw crowds.
The most irresistible attraction is undoubtedly Disney Animation’s “ Moana 2,” which racked up a massive $57.5 million on Wednesday, and is expected to dominate the Thanksgiving holiday box office with a performance for the history books. Instead, Disney tapped Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, the team behind “The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical,” to cook up enough new numbers to make the soundtrack a holiday season must-buy for families. The strong performance of “Moana 2,” “Gladiator II” and “Wicked” is welcome news for the exhibition industry, which was just starting to recover from pandemic era shutdowns when the 2023 actors and writers strikes led to a cascade of delayed releases and fewer big movies to screen for customers.
