First Day Ticket Preorders For ‘Moana 2’ Breaks Box Office Record

Buy Me A Coffee

Moana 2 is coming in hot, and it’s already breaking records before a single bucket of popcorn has been spilled. The oceanic adventure sequel to the 2016 Disney banger Moana is set to premiere on November 27, but fans are not about to wait patiently like adults with impulse control. Nope, they’re already clicking “Preorder” like their lives depend on it!

When Did Preorders Start?
On Monday, October 28, Disney threw the doors open for ticket preorders – and hoo boy, the stampede was real. It’s like everyone woke up that morning and said, “You know what I need? More catchy songs and inspirational water animations in my life, STAT.”

Record-Breaker Already? Oh You Bet!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Moana 2 didn’t just float by on a gentle breeze. No, it had the strongest first-day ticket sales of ANY animated movie in 2024. The only three films that dared to beat it in first-day sales were Deadpool & Wolverine, Wicked, and Dune: Part 2 – which, let’s be honest, is like comparing coconuts to cacti.

The Original Made a Splash Too
In case you forgot, the OG Moana raked in $687 million at the box office back in 2016. That’s a lot of people willingly signing up to cry about a demigod chicken. 🐔

Trailer Mania – Moana Style
The trailer for this new adventure wasn’t just popular – it was an absolute tsunami of views, clocking over 178 million hits in its first day. That’s roughly one view for every person who’s ever said, “You’re Welcome” unironically since 2016.

More Moana Madness on the Horizon
But wait – there’s more! A live-action version of Moana is also in the works because clearly, Disney won’t rest until they’ve remade every animated film twice. Oh, and the voice of Moana herself, Auli’i Cravalho, dropped some cryptic hints that this wave of content isn’t over yet. Sequels? Spin-offs? A Broadway musical where Maui wrestles a talking crab for two hours? Who knows!

So grab your paddles – the Moana hype is real, and it’s headed straight for your wallets. 🌊💸
