As a cinephile who has been around the block a few times, I must say that the upcoming Moana 2 is stirring quite a storm in my heart. The idea of a nacho boat replica of Moana’s outrigger is as ingenious as it is indulgent – a testament to the creative minds behind this production.
This year, when popcorn containers have been extremely popular, Regal and Disney are going against the norm by offering a “Moana 2” serving tray filled with nachos instead, which we can hardly believe we’re typing! Scheduled for release on November 27, the long-awaited sequel to the 2016 film that has taken years to produce will bring back some familiar faces, including Dwayne Johnson as the shape-shifting demigod Maui and Auliʻi Cravalho as the main character. In this new adventure, she aims to lift the curse placed by the god Nalo on the secret island of Motufetu.
According to Walt Disney World News Today, the nacho boat is modeled after Moana’s outrigger and features a miniature Moana figure, a sliding lid that conceals a compartment for about a dozen chips, and a spot to store artificial nacho cheese. It remains unclear how much this extravagant snack vessel will cost, but considering the price of current boutique popcorn buckets, fans might need to budget around $25 – $30.
As I eagerly anticipate the upcoming holiday season, I can hardly contain my excitement for the much-awaited release of Moana 2. Preliminary predictions suggest that this highly anticipated sequel is poised to make a splash during Thanksgiving weekend in November, potentially raking in an impressive $105 – $115 million within its first five days. If these figures hold true, it would not only secure a spot among the top openings for a movie during that period but also dethrone Frozen, currently holding the record at $93 million as Disney’s highest-grossing Thanksgiving release. Get ready to set sail once more with Moana and her friends!
Moana 2 Is Offering More Than Just a Nacho Boat
Beyond the excitement of the nacho boat, Regal and Disney aren’t slowing down in their fun offerings! They’ve added more treats to celebrate the movie launch. Check out the Wave Popcorn Container showcasing Moana and a sparkling ocean wave, a standard bucket adorned with the movie’s emblem, and a Collector’s Dome Cup boasting a miniature outrigger surfing a wave.
Additionally, you’ll be pleased to know that the collectibles aren’t just confined to popcorn and drinks. In fact, Funko Pops will also be up for grabs! From the images (shown above), it appears that fans can bring home Maui, the villainous Matangi, Moana, and Moana’s younger sister, Simea. It’s important to mention that these items aren’t exclusive to Regal cinemas, as they are currently available for purchase online or in stores.
Similar to the excitement surrounding the new nacho boat, there’s yet to be a price revealed for the popcorn containers and the intricate dome cup, but fans are already expressing enthusiasm online about this fresh merchandise. Users like @eyeemwema on X have commented, “‘I don’t know when popcorn buckets became the new must-have toy, but that nacho boat sure is popular.’” Essentially, they’re saying the nacho boat is quite trendy. And you can get your fill of tasty treats when Moana 2 hits theaters nationwide on November 27 at Regal Cinemas.
