Disney’s Moana 2 has achieved significant commercial success, grossing over $800 million globally, with a total of $804 million recorded through Monday. This places the film as the fourth-highest-grossing studio release of the year worldwide, with international earnings contributing $440.6 million to this total. Domestically and internationally, it ranks fourth among films released this year, surpassing titles like Despicable Me 4 and Dune Part 2.
As Moana 2 continues to perform well at the box office, questions arise about its potential to reach the $1 billion milestone, a goal that still remains uncertain. The film’s top international markets include France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Mexico, and Brazil, demonstrating strong performance across various regions.
In a broader context, Disney has surpassed $5 billion in global box office revenue for the year, marking its first such milestone since the onset of the pandemic. Currently, Disney holds three of the top four films in 2024, with both Moana 2 and Inside Head 2 leading the animated category.
Meanwhile, the film Mufasa: The Lion King has grossed over $125.6 million worldwide, with $90.2 million coming from international sources. Although it fell short of pre-weekend expectations, it still gathered another $22 million overseas on Monday, bringing its total to $147 million. Mufasa’s strongest international markets include France, Mexico, China, the United Kingdom, and Germany.
