Moana box office: The latest Disney animated movie becomes the second largest Thanksgiving opener ever.
Moana may not be in UK cinemas until this Friday, but the latest Disney film has already managed to score big at the US box-office over the big Thanksgiving weekend. The film managed to score $81.1m over the five-day opening weekend, making it the second largest Thanksgiving opener ever, just behind Frozen ($93m five-day) but more than the huge Toy Story 2 ($80m five-day).
The film follows an adventurous teenager who sails out on a daring mission to save her people, has been getting rave reviews from critics and is also proving a big hit with cinema goers who have given the film a Cinemascore of ‘A’ in the US and a current Rotten Tomatoes score of 98%. We’re yet to post our review, but let’s just say that it is very positive indeed.
The news of the Moana box office numbers tops an outstanding year for Walt Disney Animation Studios, as the critically acclaimed Zootropolis debuted in March and went on to become one of the top animated films of all time with $1.023B. The two films continue Disney Animation’s streak of hits beginning with Tangled and including Wreck-It Ralph, Frozen, and Big Hero 6. The average Rotten Tomatoes scores for these films is over 90% and their average global box office gross is over $800M.
