Wicked has been all the rage in Australia and around the globe this past week, but this week’s release of the highly-anticipated sequel to Disney’s Moana has made a huge splash.

Released on Thursday, Moana 2 opened to $1.76 million at the Australian box office, making the film the highest grossing Walt Disney Animation Studios opening day of all time.

The number also means Moana 2 has enjoyed the biggest animated opening day post pandemic and the second highest opening day of 2024, only behind the global hit, Deadpool & Wolverine.
