“Moana 2” Continues to Ride the Wave, Dominating Box Office for Third Week
Disney’s “Moana 2” remains a force to be reckoned with at the box office, holding onto the top spot for its third consecutive week. The animated adventure brought in an estimated $27 million this weekend, bringing its domestic total to $338 million.
This continued success underscores the film’s enduring appeal and its ability to draw families to theaters during the holiday season. While other new releases faltered, “Moana 2” sailed smoothly, demonstrating the power of Disney’s storytelling and animation.

“Kraven the Hunter” Stumbles
Sony’s “Kraven the Hunter” faced a disappointing opening weekend, landing in third place with only $11 million. This underperformance marks another setback for Sony’s Spider-Man universe adjacent films.
“Wicked” Holds Strong
Meanwhile, Universal’s “Wicked” continues to enchant audiences, holding steady in second place with $23 million, bringing its domestic total to $359 million. The film’s success is further bolstered by its potential for awards season recognition.
Other Box Office Contenders
“Gladiator II” remains in the top five, adding to its impressive box office run. “Red One,” despite a slow start, is steadily gaining momentum and is expected to eventually break even. New releases like “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim” and “Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem” have yet to make a significant impact.
“Moana 2” Leads the Pack
As the holiday season progresses, “Moana 2” is poised to continue its reign at the box office, with Disney’s upcoming “Mufasa” and Paramount’s “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” being the next major contenders. Whether “Moana 2” can maintain its lead against these formidable opponents remains to be seen, but for now, it’s clear that the film is riding a wave of success.
