Disney

Moana 2 led the box office once again this weekend, following its record-breaking Thanksgiving weekend debut. The Disney animated sequel brought in $52 million in its second week of release, bringing its domestic total to $300 million.

Coming in second place was Wicked: Part 1, with $34.9 million, followed by Gladiator II with $12.5 million.

This week’s new release, the horror comedy Y2K, was no match for that powerhouse box office trio, failing to crack the top five with just $2.1 million. Kyle Mooney’s directorial debut, starring Rachel Zegler and Jaeden Martell, imagines what would happen if New Year’s Eve 1999 went horribly wrong. 

Here are the top 10 films at the box office:

1. Moana 2 – $52 million
2. Wicked: Part 1 – $34.9 million
3. Gladiator II – $12.5 million
4. Pushpa: The Rule, Part 2 – $9.3 million
5. Red One – $7 million
6. Interstellar (Rerelease) – $4.4 million
7. Solo Leveling: ReAwakening – $2.4 million
8. Y2K – $2.1 million
9. For King + Country: A Drummer Boy Christmas – Live – $2 million
10. The Best Christmas Pageant Ever – $1.5 million
