Box Office Results: Moana 2 Continues to Sail, Y2K Bombs
Moana 2 is continuing to sail at the box office.
Per Deadline, Moana 2 scored an additional $52 million at the domestic box office this weekend. Once again beating out Wicked (which made $34.8 million) and Gladiator II (which made $12.4 million), the Disney animated sequel has now grossed approximately $300 million.
A24’s Y2K, meanwhile, failed to find a strong audience at the movie theater. Directed by Kyle Mooney and starring Rachel Zegler, the film made $2.1 million during its opening weekend. It was made for less than $15 million.
This coming weekend will be an interesting one as both The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim and Kraven the Hunter open in United States theaters, while Luca Guadagnino’s Queer is getting a wider release. Oscar hopefuls September 5, Nickle Boys, and The Last Showgirl are also all opening in limited release.
