Performance Breakdown
A Decent Start
Moana 2 debuted with ₹1.8 Cr on Day 1, benefiting from Disney’s brand value and its widespread appeal among families. The opening day set the stage for what could have been a promising run, especially with a weekend ahead.
Weekend Boost
The film saw significant growth over the weekend, with ₹3.4 Cr on Day 2 and ₹3.6 Cr on Day 3. The combination of vibrant animation, captivating songs, and a heartwarming storyline drew in family audiences, particularly in metro cities.
Drop on Day 4
As expected, collections dipped on Day 4, a weekday, with earnings of ₹0.61 Cr. The sharp decline reflects the film’s limited mass appeal beyond its core audience of children and families.
Challenges in the Indian Market
- Cultural Resonance: While universally appealing, Moana 2’s Polynesian mythology and themes may not fully connect with Indian audiences.
- Competition: Local films and other animated releases have divided the audience’s attention.
- Language Barrier: The English version of the film has performed modestly, but dubbed versions might have expanded its reach.
Final Verdict
With ₹9.41 Cr in four days, Moana 2 has had a slow but steady start at the Indian box office. Its global appeal and Disney’s reputation might sustain its collections in the coming days, especially with families seeking lighthearted entertainment.
