“Moana 2” leads America’s biggest Thanksgiving weekend box office ever

When it comes to the postpandemic US box office, there’s seemingly no limit to how much a movie can flop... and when there’s a hit? Well, in the words of Disney’s “Moana,” no one knows how far it’ll go.

America’s box office has just enjoyed its highest-grossing Thanksgiving five-day weekend ever, as reported by Deadline, accruing more than $400 million domestically — surpassing the previous record of $315 million set in 2018 for the Wednesday-through-Sunday period. These figures have been largely driven by the success of a trifecta of major movies: approximately 30 million people saw “Moana 2,” “Wicked,” and “Gladiator II” in US theaters over the weekend (though if the portmanteau “Glicked”wasn’t snappy enough, “Glickoana” stands little chance of catching on).
