It’s a bittersweet time for Dwayne Johnson. Among the highest-paid movie stars in the world, Johnson has been struggling with box office form in recent years. But at the same time, he recently earned the rare distinction of having featured in two different films to have topped the domestic box office in the same month.

The big splash continues for Disney’s “Moana 2,” which earned a massive $54.5 million on Black Friday from 4,200 locations, shattering the $34.1 million record that was notched by “Frozen II” in 2019.

"Moana 2"—starring the voices of Auli'i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson—brings in big numbers in its box office debut, followed by strong returns for "Wicked" and "Gladiator 2."
