$13.8 million. That's how much "Moana 2" grossed in preview screenings, the biggest preview haul ever ahead of Thanksgiving weekend and the most preview earnings for a film from Disney Animation. “Moana” was the most-streamed movie last year in the U.S., with 11.6 billion minutes streamed.

"Gladiator II" added to the $420 million haul, with close to record attendance for Thanksgiving. "Queer" is tops among new platform openers.

The wildest dreams of movie theater owners across the country have come true. Thanks in large part to Disney’s “Moana 2” and Universal’s “Wicked” with assistance from Paramount’s “Gladiator II,” overall grosses for the 5-day Thanksgiving weekend have soared to an estimated $423 million, shattering the previous record of $314.8 million set in 2018.
