How was everyone's Thanksgiving weekend? We're finally back with a big blockbuster movie from Disney to track in this thread!
Here's how Moana 2 stands compared to inflation adjusted Princessy remakes of the past few years, plus the gorilla in the room The Lion King remake from '19. Since it was supposed to just be anABC Sunday Night Movie Disney+ streaming show, the budget for Moana 2 was an impressively low $150 Million, which is going to make getting it to profitability easy and fast for Burbank. They've got to be thrilled with that after the past few years! 
Using the tried and true template of studio's averaging 60% of the box office take from domestic theaters, and 40% of the take from foreign theaters, and assuming a modest marketing budget of 50% of production budget, that gets us this current standing at the Box Office for Moana 2:
Moana 2: $150 Production, $75 Marketing, $135 Domestic Take, $66 Foreign Take = $24 Million Loss So Far
I'd imagine Moana 2 will go into the black and start making Burbank profit by this Friday evening, globally. Will it do the huge Billion+ box office of Beauty & The Beast or The Lion King? It doesn't seem to be on that type of track, but it's clearly already more successful than other live action Princessy remakes like Cinderella or Maleficent.
Moana 2 will make a tidy profit for Disney, and that's important! Off we go into December tracking...
I got several little girls dressed as Moana on my front entry this past Halloween. Plus a gaggle of the usuals; Cinderella, Belle and Miss White. I didn't get a single Frozen girl this year, now that you mention it. I hadn't pieced that together as I made my post trick-or-treat martini on the 31st, until you just mentioned it! There's clearly been a pop-culture shift on Frozen amongst that young girl demographic.
