CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

Deadline Hollywood reports:

With this weekend’s business, Disney’s Moana 2 has topped $1B in global box office, becoming the third release of 2024 to reach the mark. This new milestone means Disney scored a hat trick of $1B worldwide grossers from 2024; the only studio with movies released during the year that crossed the coveted threshold.

In total, 56 movies have ever crossed $1B worldwide. Moana 2 is the 32nd from Disney (including three from the Fox acquisition) as well as being the 4th from Walt Disney Animation Studios (along with Frozen 2, Frozen and Zootopia).

It also helped Disney become the only studio of 2024 to top $5B in worldwide box office, the first time that any studio has surpassed the five-century mark since 2019.
