If Inside Out 2 can save Pixar and Deadpool and Wolverine can save Marvel, then Moana 2 will save WDAS.😉 Star Wars, however, I’m afraid Star Wars is in a downfall for right now, until Madalorian and Grogu comes to theaters in a couple of years.

I forgot about Moana 2. Disney really could be heading for the hat trick this year.

I’ve been paying attention to trailer views on returning films as a bit of a barometer on the audience interest. To see if it was really manifesting with actual box office in a predictable way.

Deadpool 3 delivered a much larger opening than IO2, which tracked remarkably with what was the most viewed animated trailer release of all time. It seems to be providing some rough predictive power after all. Though IO2 is a summer release and more naturally Moana 2 will have more of a mid range Christmas tail.




Should be fun to watch if this one can also be a 600m domestic film (which is an unreasonable expectation to place on a film - but this is the bigger franchise to my eyes).

I know a lot've you are disappointed of last year's villain from Wish (which I disagree), but it looks like we're getting another traditional villain for this sequel after all. Look:

Looks like we have Walt Disney Animation Studios’ next animated theatrical short coming soon, and it’s called Versa, meaning it may play in front of Moana 2.

I found this bit of the article rather disingenuous, though I realize it's a puff piece: "After years of the studio relegating several projects to Disney+ or day-and-date releases (meaning to release on multiple platforms at once), Moana 2's pivot feels like a pointed reinvestment in the theatrical experience." As if Encanto, Strange World, and Wish weren't initially theatrical-only? Heck, Wish was malingering in theaters well into January.

I think you missed the point. It’s referring specifically to the film’s pivot from Disney+ to the cinema. The other films you listed were designed from the outset to be theatrical releases.

I’m with @Miss Rori here. The “relegation” experiment really only lasted from late Spring 2020 through late summer 2021; by the fall of 2021 they stopped with the D+ or theatrical/D+ Premier Access stuff, and went back to reprioritizing their theatrical slate. They haven’t really pushed much from theaters down to D+ since then.

It also ignores what Disney’s already done with Alien: Romulus.
