Moana 2 Becomes Highest-Grossing Animated Film of All Time at the South African Box Office

Disney’s latest animated triumph, ‘Moana 2’, has officially set sail into the record books, becoming the highest-grossing animated film of all time at the South African box office. This achievement sees the beloved sequel surpassing Disney’s previous global hit, ‘Frozen 2’, to claim the top spot.

The film, released in cinemas across Africa on November 29, 2024, was an instant sensation. It broke records in its opening weekend, becoming the highest opening weekend ever for any animated film in East and West Africa and the highest opening weekend of 2024 in East Africa. In Southern and West Africa, Moana 2 secured the second-highest opening weekend of the year.

Globally, ‘Moana 2’ continues to dominate, crossing the coveted $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office. It now ranks as the 12th highest-grossing animated release of all time globally and the fourth highest from Walt Disney Animation Studios.

This success also reinforces Disney’s box office dominance in Southern Africa for 2024, with ‘Moana 2’ joining Disney and Pixar’s ‘Inside Out 2’ and Marvel Studios’ ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ as the top three films of the year. Across the African continent, the sequel further cements its legacy as the highest-grossing animated film of all time in East and West Africa.

‘Moana 2’ reunites audiences with the beloved characters Moana (voiced by Auli‘i Cravalho) and Maui (voiced by Dwayne Johnson) for an epic new adventure. The story follows Moana as she answers an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors, propelling her on a daring journey into the far seas of Oceania. Alongside a crew of unlikely seafarers, Moana faces uncharted waters and challenges unlike anything she’s encountered before.

Fans who haven’t yet joined this epic journey can still catch Moana 2 in cinemas.
