in Disney, Movies, Movies & TV

At absolutely no surprise to Disney fans around the world, their newest animated feature Moana tore up the box office with $21.8 million on Friday and is on pace for over $80 million for the full holiday weekend — the numbers should be dropping at some point today.

As far as other numbers go, ComicBook.com has the deets (that’s lazy slang for “details”):

Warren Beatty’s Rules Don’t Apply brought in $600,000, and will likely total a bit over $2 million for the weekend. Brad Pitt’s Allied is also suffering a bit with a $4.9 box office take in on Friday and is looking to hit the $18 million mark for the weekend. Billy Bob Thornton’s Bad Santa 2 only took in 2.3 million on Friday and is trying to hit around $10 million for the weekend. Also of note is Doctor Strange, which pulled in another $5.4 million.

Inside the Magic gave Moana a raving review, saying: “2016 feels like a year where we need genuine, strong role models for women in American culture, and yet we’ve gone through a few pretenders and disappointments so far. In that department, and innumerable others, “Moana” is the real deal.”

For all things Disney, stick with Inside the Magic!

(we will update this post when the new numbers drop…stay tuned!)
