Disney's Moanais number one at the box office this weekend,sexiest naughtyest eroticism with an impressive $55.5 million estimated as its domestic start.
That might seem like a low number next to the $74.4 million opening for Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Themlast week, but context is important. Moanais the tenth Walt Disney Animation Studios release since its mid-aughts reformation, and it's the third-highest opening to date, after Zootopiaand Big Hero 6.

Fantastic Beasts, meanwhile, looks like it will hang on longer than its opening weekend might have suggested. It trails well behind Moanaat #2, with an estimated $45.1 million earned over the weekend. But context is important here.
Last week, we saw the Fantastic Beastsopening as a bad sign. Yes, $74.4 million is a lot of money, but it was also the weakest start across all of the J.K. Rowling-spawned "Wizarding World" movies.
The second weekend drop down to $45.1 million represents a 39 percent drop in viewers. That's a lot of carryover by Hollywood standards, where big-budget films typically lose 60 percent of their audience or more over the first two weeks.
In other words: Fantastic Beastslooks like it's got some legs. It also continues to be popular overseas, having added another $132 million to its coffers thanks to moviegoers in 67 non-U.S. markets.
Doctor Strangeis the other big box office headline of the week. Not only has Marvel's latest officially crossed the $600 million mark in worldwide earnings -- an estimated $616 million, including this weeks tallies -- but it's also one of the studio's strongest character introductions to date.
Right now, the domestic total for Doctor Strangesits at $205.1 million. That's enough to put it ahead of the overall domestic earnings for Thor, Ant-Man, Captain America: The First Avenger, and The Incredible Hulk, all of which brought new characters into the Marvel cinematic universe.
Only Iron Man($318.4 million) and Guardians of the Galaxy($333.2 million) did better. Yes, the first Avengersmovie beats them all -- its $623.4 domestic gross is Marvel's highest to date -- but that movie banks on a super-group of marquee names. In other words: it builds on the success of past successes.
Strangeis admittedly starting to peter out -- it only pulled in an estimated $13.4 million over the Friday-Sunday weekend -- so it's not likely to climb any further. But Marvel must be happy.
Just like Guardiansdid in 2014, Doctor Strangemakes a strong case for exploring the more offbeat corners of the Marvel universe. Strange isn't nearly as known as Marvel favorites like Iron Man, Captain America, and Hulk, but strong casting and an open embrace of the comic inspiration's occult underpinnings made his first movie a winner.
