'Moana 2' Breaks Box Office Records with Historic Thanksgiving Debut

TL;DR
"Moana 2" is set to make history as one of Disney's biggest Thanksgiving weekend releases, with a projected $200 million in ticket sales over the five-day holiday period. The film, featuring voices from Auli‘i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson, has already amassed $85.5 million domestically in just two days.
