Disney's 'Moana 2' has joined 'Inside Out 2' and 'Deadpool and Wolverine' as the studio's third billion-dollar film of 2024, marking a significant rebound for Disney's animated films after facing challenges in the post-pandemic era.
Disney 's ' Moana 2 ' joins ' Inside Out 2 ' and 'Deadpool and Wolverine' as the studio's third billion-dollar film of 2024. The animated sequel reached the milestone during the Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend, bringing Disney 's total number of billion-dollar film s to 32, including three acquired from its 2019 purchase of Fox. ' Moana 2 ' grossed $442.8 million domestically and $567.1 million internationally, according to the company.
This achievement marks a significant rebound for Disney's animated films, which faced challenges in the post-pandemic era. The studio's decision to release some animated features directly on Disney+, during the height of the pandemic, may have impacted theatrical attendance. However, 'Inside Out 2' helped revitalize the domestic box office in June, becoming the highest-grossing film of 2024 and the first Pixar or Disney Animation film to surpass $480 million globally since 2019. The success of 'Moana 2', alongside other theatrical releases like 'Deadpool and Wolverine' and 'Inside Out 2', contributed to Disney's domestic box office revenue exceeding $2.2 billion last year. 'Moana 2' is the fourth film from Walt Disney Animation to cross the $1 billion mark, joining 'Frozen,' 'Frozen II,' and 'Zootopia'. With its remarkable run, Disney now holds nearly 60% of the highest-grossing films in cinematic history, demonstrating its enduring dominance in the global box office
