Moana 2 Breaking One Disappointing 5-Year Disney Trend Is More Likely Thanks To Huge New Record

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Eight years after the first movie's premiere, Moana 2 is hitting theaters in 2024, and if the response to the sequel's trailer is any indication of its success, Disney should be excited about its premiere . The animated adventure movie, directed by David Derrick Jr., Jason Hand, and Dana Ledoux Miller, was originally developed as a television show for Disney+.

Of course, the most obvious reason why Disney hasn't produced an animated film that grossed $1 billion at the box office since 2019 is the COVID-19 pandemic. Theaters were significantly affected by the mandated lockdowns, and since production studios could no longer distribute their movies the traditional way, they turned to streaming, including Disney. The company debuted Soul, Turning Red, and Luca on Disney+ instead of cinemas.

Due to Moana 2's impressive new record, there's hope that the upcoming movie will be able to break Disney's five-year curse and gross $1 billion or more at the box office. Sequels tend to perform better for the animation studio, so it wasn't expected to be a box office failure. But the growing hype around the musical fantasy adventure film might signal it will be an overwhelming success.
