Auliʻi Cravalho Shines Amid Mixed 'Moana 2' Reception and Box Office Triumph

Disney's 'Moana 2' led a record-breaking Thanksgiving box office, earning $221 million domestically over five days, surpassing expectations and previous records set by 'Frozen II.' Alongside 'Wicked' and 'Gladiator II,' the holiday weekend amassed $420 million, marking the highest Thanksgiving box office in history. This surge has helped narrow the 2024 box office gap, which was impacted by Hollywood strikes, from an 11% to a 6.4% deficit compared to the previous year.
