Although Moana 2 has had an impressive opening, there are challenges to long-term success. If it is to have a run like Inside Out 2, the film will have to garner a huge audience in the first weekend. Based on the first day pre-sales, it proves that the audience is excited, but will this excitement last after the release?

Moana 2 will have to compete with its competitors. If this film receives positive reviews and love from the audience, it can work wonders at the box office. But as seen earlier, the quality and promotion of the film are important. It is important to promote it properly through social media and trailers.

This film will have to open well during Thanksgiving. If it is successfully marketed to a large audience, it can lead in ticket sales. The key to future success is not only in the first week, but also in creating a positive buzz among the audience.

This is a golden opportunity for Moana 2, and it should not be missed. Now it remains to be seen how successful this film is and whether it will be able to break the record of Inside Out 2. The journey of Moana 2 in 2024 is going to be very exciting.
