The highly anticipated sequel, ‘Moana 2,’ has officially topped Thanksgiving week box office records with a remarkable opening day of $57.5 million. This strong performance places it on track to eclipse previous animated hits like ‘Frozen 2’ with an expected debut of over $175 million. However, critics have expressed disappointment, labeling the film as a mediocre follow-up to its predecessor, with comments on its confusing storyline and underwhelming musical numbers. Despite the lukewarm reception from reviewers, audience interest remains high, and the film has spurred discussions about its future implications for the character Moana. In addition to its box office success, ‘Moana 2’ features a post-credits scene that teases further adventures for the beloved character.
