What was Moana's opening weekend box office in the US?

Moana’s three-day U.S. opening weekend was $56.6 million.

The figure refers to the film’s Friday-through-Sunday debut in the United States, not the entire Thanksgiving holiday period. Because Moana opened before Thanksgiving, its Wednesday-to-Sunday five-day total was substantially higher, reaching about $82.1 million. That distinction explains why different reports may quote two opening figures.

Moana opened in 3,875 theaters, with most of them showing the film in 3D. It earned $2.6 million from Tuesday evening paid previews, then $15.5 million on its Wednesday opening day. Thanksgiving Day brought in $9.9 million, while Black Friday was the strongest day of the holiday stretch at $21.8 million.

Its $56.6 million three-day debut ranked among the biggest three-day Thanksgiving openings at the time, behind Frozen and Toy Story 2. The film later earned roughly $248.7 million in the United States and Canada and about $687.2 million worldwide. The $56.6 million answer is therefore the standard rounded domestic opening-weekend figure.
