Scroll below for deets.
Dune 2 by Denis Villeneuve was the highest-grossing film of the year for quite some time until Inside Out 2, Despicable Me 4, and Deadpool & Wolverine came out. It featured Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya in the lead roles. Dune 2 is the highest-grossing film of Timothee as a lead actor. The film’s third installment is already being developed. It opened with $82.50 million debut weekend and collected $282.14 million in the US and $432.30 million overseas, taking the worldwide total to $714.44 million.
Moana 2 collected a solid $26.6 million on its third three-day weekend, dropping 48% from last weekend. It is at #1 at the US box office, and with that, the film has reached a $337.5 million domestic cume, thereby beating Spider-Man 3’s US haul of $337.3 million. It is now the 76th highest-grossing film in the United States.
According to Luiz Fernando’s report, the Disney sequel has weaker legs than all the previous animations, and thus, the $500 million mark might be out of sight. It is expected to earn between $465 million and $475 million in North America.
Meanwhile, it collected a strong $57.2 million on the third weekend and has thus hit the $300 million mark overseas. Moana 2 collected $379.5 million across 53 markets so far. Allied with the $337.5 million US cume, the film’s worldwide cume has hit $717.5 million, surpassing Dune 2’s $714.4 million global haul to become the fourth highest-grossing film of the year. Despite having weaker legs, the Disney animation is expected to cross the $1 billion mark worldwide.
Moana 2 was released in the theatres on November 29.
