Moana 2,' Disney's sequel to the beloved original film, is expected to break Thanksgiving weekend box office records with as much as $200 million in ticket sales.

Thanksgiving weekend records could be broken with the premiere of “Moana 2”—which out-earned the year’s highest-grossing film in previews.

Disney’s “Moana 2” is off and racing at the box office. Despite taking place on a Tuesday night, preview screenings for the hotly anticipated sequel yielded a stunning $13.8 million, second only to the $18 million for Pixar’s “The Incredibles 2” in summer 2018 for the highest ever preview total for an animated film.

The big splash continues for Disney’s “Moana 2,” which earned a massive $54.5 million on Black Friday from 4,200 locations, shattering the $34.1 million record that was notched by “Frozen II” in 2019.
