Performance Analysis
- Strong Opening Weekend:
Moana 2 capitalized on its opening weekend with ₹8.8 Cr over the first three days, driven by Disney’s loyal fanbase and family audiences. - Gradual Decline:
The collections tapered during weekdays and the subsequent weeks, dropping to ₹0.15 Cr on Day 17. The movie picked up slightly over the weekend but hasn’t regained its initial momentum. - Niche Appeal:
While visually stunning, the film’s Polynesian mythology and themes have a limited appeal to the Indian audience, restricting its growth beyond urban centers.
Challenges in the Indian Market
- Cultural Disconnect: Unlike Bollywood and regional films, Moana 2’s storyline did not resonate with wider Indian demographics.
- Limited Dubbed Versions: Minimal promotion for regional language versions curtailed its reach among non-English-speaking audiences.
- Intense Competition: Simultaneous releases of Bollywood and regional films further diluted its box office potential.
Outlook and Verdict
With a total collection of ₹18.95 Cr in 19 days, Moana 2 has performed decently for an English-language animated film in India. The movie is expected to maintain a presence in select cinemas for another week but will likely see a decline as newer releases dominate screens.
