Moana remake underperforms with $45M debut as Toy Story 5 and Minions dominate

Disney’s live‑action Moana remake opened to about $45 million domestically (18.2 million on opening day) from 3,872 theaters, well below projections as competition from Minions & Monsters and Toy Story 5 dampened momentum; overseas numbers were weak (UK opening day around £775,000). With a budget of at least $200 million plus roughly $100 million in marketing, the film faces an uphill path to profitability despite strong interest in the original’s franchise, aided only modestly by merchandising and park revenue. CinemaScore is A-, indicating decent audience reception but not enough to offset the tepid box-office debut.

Minions & Monsters Edge Toy Story 5 in Tight Box-Office Weekend

Minions & Monsters narrowly tops the weekend box office, grossing about $61.4M domestically over five days (and $98.43M globally) while Toy Story 5 trails in close second; Angel Studios’ Young Washington opens around $20M and is projected to beat Supergirl in its second week. Supergirl underperforms, prompting internal studio analysis and a bake-off between versions. Obsession remains in the top 10 but drops from the top five, and the piece also notes on AI actor Tilly Norwood’s Misaligned project and a planned Young Washington sequel.

Franchise Fatigue Hits Despicable Me Spin-off as Minions & Monsters Opens Softly

Universal/Illumination’s Minions & Monsters opened to $36 million domestic over the July 4 weekend, the franchise’s lowest start, with $64.5 million since Wednesday and $159.8 million global after international play; at the same time, Supergirl plunged about 74% in its second weekend to $9.6 million, underscoring ongoing challenges for non–A‑list superhero titles. Still, the summer box office is up vs. last year and 2019, helped by Toy Story 5’s strength and upcoming releases like Moana, as industry eyes a rebound despite fatigue around long-running franchises.

Enola Holmes 3 grows up, confronts colonialism, as Minions and Romería anchor a varied summer slate

A Netflix-sized round-up: Enola Holmes 3 matures, pairing a Malta-set adventure with colonial critique and a romance with Lord Tewkesbury; Minions & Monsters leans into cinema-history pastiche with mixed results but shows Illumination’s love of film; John Cena’s Little Brother is a tepid, surface-level comedy about ego and family; Romería is a moving, semi-autobiographical drama about uncovering a family history in Spain, blending past and present through diaries and memory.
