‘Moana 2’ Overtakes ‘Super Mario Bros.’ To Break Major Box Office Record
As a cinephile, I was left in awe during the Thanksgiving holiday when I witnessed Moana 2 shatter the opening weekend record set by the Super Mario Bros. Movie. The electrifying duo of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Auli’i Cravalho delivered an unforgettable Disney sequel that dominated the box office, raking in an estimated $221 million domestically (as reported by The Numbers). This staggering figure surpassed the previous five-day record held by the 2023 video game adaptation, starring Chris Pratt and Charlie Day, which had amassed $204.6 million.
