Summary
$95.1 million gave Disney’s live-action “Moana” the top global box-office spot in its first weekend, with $52 million international and $43.1 million domestic.
The film led non-local releases in markets including Australia, France, Korea, the UK and Germany, with stronger traction across the Pacific region than in China, where it opened to $1.2 million.
$73.6 million from China alone put Stephen Chow’s “Kung Fu Soccer” in second place overall, opening to RMB 500.3 million over two days and earning a 9.4/10 Mayan score.
$64.3 million lifted “Toy Story 5” to third for the weekend and $879.5 million globally, while it still beat “Moana” in Brazil and Mexico and remained the top non-local title across most of Latin America.
The weekend underscored how family films continue to dominate the global chart even as “Moana” fell short of bigger remake expectations after opening close to 2024’s “Moana 2.”
