“Moana 2” is No Turkey: $85.5 Million in 2 Days Sets Records for Animated Films, Audiences

Share

Let’s just say the “Moana 2” audience is very animated.

Disney’s latest release has made $85 million in just three days including previews.

On Thanksgiving fans stuffed themselves into theaters to the tune of $28 million.

That’s a record for animated films, and the most ever for a Disney animated film.

Suffice to say, the Mouse House is pretty happy this morning.

When you add this to “Inside Out 2,” Disney has had massive successes this year in animation.

The rest of the box office is booming with “Wicked” and “Gladiator II” each doing huge business.

keep refreshing…
