Moana's Live-Action Debut Opens to $4.5M in Previews, Facing an Uphill Weekend
TL;DR Summary
Disney's live-action Moana opened with about $4.5 million in Thursday previews, well below early expectations for a high-40s/60M domestic debut, and critics have it at roughly 35% on Rotten Tomatoes; success for the weekend will hinge on strong walk-up audiences amid competition from Toy Story 5 and other family titles, with the film's reception likely to influence its midweek momentum.
