Moana has been the most streamed movie in the United States in each of the past two years, according to Nielsen’s figures. It might have some competition this year — from its sequel.

Moana 2, which had its streaming premiere March 12 on Disney+, shot to the top of the streaming rankings for the week of March 10-16. The movie had just under 2 billion minutes of viewing time, giving it the highest single-week total for any feature film on a streaming platform so far in 2025. (Netflix’s Back in Action had the previous high of 1.54 billion minutes in January.) Moana also returned to the movie rankings after two weeks outside the top 10 with 223 million minutes.
