Incoming Thanksgiving Tidal Wave At The Box Office: ‘Moana 2’ Surfing To $135M Holiday Record Opening

As we told you recently, Disney‘s Moana 2 is heading to the best 5-day opening ever seen at the Thanksgiving box office. We gave the six-weekend projection from Quorum, and this morning NRG which reports 3 weekend-out forecasts is saying the Hawaiian princess movie is going to clear $135M over Wednesday-Sunday which bests the record $125M five-day (not opening) Thanksgiving haul of Frozen 2 ($125M) and the $93.5M 5-day opening of Frozen.

Pre-sales for Moana 2 are ahead of Inside Out 2 and Incredibles 2 which respectively opened to $154.2M and $182.6M (3-day). Tickets went on sale for the Dwayne Johnson and Auli‘i Cravalho sequel on Oct. 28.
