After the first Moana earned over $680 million at the worldwide box office and became a hit on Disney+ over the last few years, it wasn’t surprising to see its sequel deliver even more extraordinary numbers. After debuting in theaters over the Thanksgiving holiday in 2024, Moana 2 has now grossed $435 million domestically and $555 million from international markets for a worldwide haul of $990 million. This $990 million worldwide total is enough to help Moana 2 become one of the top 15 highest-grossing PG movies ever, recently passing Despicable Me 2 and Despicable Me 4, but still falling short of Finding Dory and Zootopia. Moana 2 will also likely pass $1 billion in the next few days, and surely by the start of next week.

In addition to being a standalone success for Disney, now grossing north of six times its reported budget of $150 million, Moana 2 has helped Dwayne Johnson’s global career box office haul reach $15 billion, an unbelievable amount known only to a select few stars. Disney’s animated sequel has also left its mark on a slew of all-time and 2024 box office lists, including being one of the top 15 highest-grossing animated movies of all time globally, as well as the third highest-grossing movie of 2024, falling short of only Deadpool & Wolverine and Inside Out 2. Moana 2 is also one of the 100 highest-grossing movies ever made by all metrics that exclude inflation; it is the 33rd highest-grossing movie domestically, 93rd internationally, and 55th globally at the all-time box office, as well as one of the 20 highest-grossing Disney movies ever domestically.

Has Streaming Information Been Announced for ‘Moana 2’?

Disney has yet to reveal when Moana 2 will begin streaming, and the film has not even begun its digital run, where it will go up for sale on platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV+. The animated sequel has still been consistently producing strong box office numbers, but the time is likely drawing near for Disney to give fans the option to watch Moana 2 at home. Many people think this hurts box office return, but Wicked recently premiered on digital and earned a whopping $70 million during its first week, significantly more than it would have earned at the box office in that late stage of its theatrical run.

Moana 2 is still playing in theaters everywhere.
