Moana Live-Action Flops on Opening Weekend, Echoing Snow White’s Reception
TL;DR Summary
Disney’s live-action Moana opened to about $43M domestic and $52M worldwide on a budget near $395M with marketing, a disappointing debut that could cost the studio roughly $100–$125M and mirrors last year’s Snow White opening; analysts point to releasing the remake so soon after Moana 2, competition from Toy Story 5, and mixed-to-negative reactions as key factors.
