Moana 2 Breaks Record Even Before Release

With 178 million views in a single day, the Disney Moana 2 video has surpassed all other animated film trailers in the studio’s history. This beats Pixar’s Incredibles 2 by 113 million and breaks the records held by Inside Out 2 and Frozen 2.

Online platforms like Facebook, Snapchat, X, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok saw the majority of views. The animation, admiration for the first movie, and character fandom Moana, Maui, and Pua being particular favorites all elicited positive responses. Disney’s move from a Disney+ series to the big screen is demonstrated by this success.

With more views than the trailer for Moana 2, Pixar’s previous record of 157 million has been surpassed, exceeding the 113 million for Disney Animation’s Frozen 2 and Incredibles 2. Before Inside Out 2, which opens on June 14, the trailer will play.

The anticipated opening gross for the sequel is between $80 million and $85 million, however other sources indicate it might even reach $90 million. Disney’s animation business is benefiting from both films, as Pixar has been having difficulties.

David Derrick Jr., Jason Hand, and Dana Ledoux Miller are the directors of Moana 2, which takes Moana on an unexpected journey through long-lost waters.
