Moana 2 has sailed its way to $1 billion at the global box office after eight weeks in theaters. So far, the movie has earned $445 million domestically and $567 million internationally. That’s an impressive total for a movie that was originally planned for a straight to Disney+ release.

The animated movie’s success makes it Disney’s third film released in 2024 that has achieved $1 billion in theaters. Inside Out 2 has scored a global tally of $1.69 billion and Deadpool & Wolverine earned $1.33 billion worldwide.

The highly anticipated sequel follows the precocious teenager who encounters magic and other wonders on her adventures at sea. The movie set a new record for Thanksgiving weekend, making $221 million in its five-day domestic opening. It has significantly outpaced the first Moana, which earned $680 million globally in 2016.

Moana 2 opens with the titular heroine returning home from an adventure with her trusty sidekicks Hei Hei and Pua. She reveals an artifact she found connected to “an ancient island cursed by a power hungry god.” Moana recruits a team to join her as she attempts to break the curse and unite her people once again. Of course, as they face monsters and angry gods, they’ll need a little help from the trickster demigod, Maui.

The sequel saw the return of voice actors Auli’i Cravalho as Moana, Dwayne Johnson as Maui, Alan Tudyk as Hei Hei, Rachel House as Gramma Tala, Temuera Morrison as Chief Tui, and Nicole Scherzinger as Sina.
