Disney has released a new teaser trailer for the highly anticipated "Moana 2," set to hit theaters on November 27, 2024. The sequel features Auli'i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson reprising their roles as Moana and the demigod Maui.

In "Moana 2," the story picks up three years after the original, with Moana receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors. She embarks on a daring journey to the far seas of Oceania, navigating dangerous and long-lost waters alongside a crew of unlikely seafarers.

The film is directed by David Derrick Jr., Jason Hand, and Dana Ledoux Miller, with Christina Chen and Yvett Merino producing. The soundtrack features music by Grammy winners Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, Grammy nominee Opetaia Foa?i, and three-time Grammy winner Mark Mancina.

That's just not possible-not with a November release. Christmas maybe, but Inside Out 2 had the summer schedule with summer weekdays.

Meh...it's not awful, but it's not up to Lin Manuel Miranda standards.

Moákéd or Wickona?

Reading this more closely, so the series would have been feature quality. But when they decided to make it into a feature for the large screen they took the core elements and expanded upon it. So this isn't going to be some low quality animated show just transitioned to the large screen as some had predicted. Not that that was really a question for most who watched the trailers. Yeah this will do really well in theaters, we'll see how much soon enough.

Like I said, there's a light at the end of the tunnel for WDAS. And don't worry, WDAS has an untitled original film coming in 2026. And then after that is a couple of Frozen sequels.

I honestly think 1B is in the cards. Wicked will possibly help. I know a lot of people want to to make it a double feature.

That was in 2022 not 2024, average ticket price is actually up $0.25 the last two years compared to 2022, or $0.20 compared to 2019 adjusted for inflation.

I'm not a big fan of using inflation, especially in the short term. For example, Median household income has dropped 5% from 2019 to 2022 according to the US Census. Since 1971, median income is up 27%, but tickets are up 85%. This also does not factor in the costs at the theaters. I'm just not convinced most families have an extra money every week to continuously go to movies, which is why I think there is potentially more canibalization today than there was 10 years ago even. I know for us, we spent almost $100 on going to Inside Out 2 after tickets, popcorn/candy and drinks for the family. Even if you cut that out, tickets were well over $50. BUT, again, I think you are right, I think it hurts Wicked more than it will hurt Moana (my family aside). Just stating I could see that as being the one thing that could keep the movie down if it is down at all. I think a lot of families will not want to spend money on movie theaters in back to back weekends.
