Moana easily topped the weekend box office over its second weekend with $28.37 million. It now brings its domestic total to just under $120 million and has also collected a nice some overseas with $57.5 million. Internationally, the film is playing well as it debuted in five significant markets including a #1 finish in France with an estimated $5.2 million, a $5.1 million opening in Russia, $2.7 million debut in Mexico and UK, along with an estimated $2 million opening in Spain. The film’s top international market so far is China where it dipped 55% this weekend for an estimated China gross just over $21 million.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them finishes in second with $18.5 million. That’s a drop of 59% week to week but it has already grossed $183.5 million domestically and $424.4 million worldwide on a $180 million budget. I do believe a new franchise is officially born.
Finishing in a surprising third is Arrival with $7.3 million. It dropped an impressive 36% week to week and is showing some serious legs. It has a gross of $73 million so far on a $47 million budget and I think it still has some more fight in it as Oscar season approaches.
