Just weeks after his Red One movie opened around the world,
Dwayne Johnson is back on the big screen today, or better
yet, behind the microphone, with the release of Disney’s
Moana 2.
The movie also features the voices of Auliʻi Cravalho,
Temuera Morrison, Nicole Scherzinger, Khaleesi Lambert-
Tsuda, Rose Matafeo, David Fane, Hualālai Chung, Rachel
House, Awhimai Fraser, Gerald Ramsey, and Alan Tudyk.
The synopsis of the movie reads, “Three years after the
events of the first film, Moana receives an unexpected call
from her wayfinding ancestors and forms her own crew,
reuniting with her friend, the demigod Maui. As they journey
to the far seas of Oceania to break the god Nalo’s curse on
the hidden island of Motufetu, which once connected the
people of the ocean, they confront old and new foes,
including the Kakamora and underworld goddess Matangi.”
Moana 2 is expected to do much better than Red One, with
projections hovering in the $110 million range for the
Thanksgiving weekend. If it hits that number, it would be
the biggest opening for a film released during that period.
The original Moana pulled in $643 million in worldwide box
office and had a budget of $150 million.
