Moana 2 could be on its way to vastly outgrossing the original Disney animated movie. The original Moana debuted in 2016 and grossed $687.2 million at the global box office against a budget of roughly $150 million. This was enough to make it the 12th highest-grossing movie of the year worldwide, during a period that featured intense competition from hits including Captain America: Civil War and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Additionally, it was the fourth highest-grossing animated movie of the year, behind Finding Dory, Zootopia, and The Secret Life of Pets.
