## Resource

Disney’s live-action Moana hits theaters with a $250M budget but a modest $43M domestic opening, sparking debate as critics panned it for being a shot-for-shot remake (34% Rotten Tomatoes) while audiences and parents embraced it (63% recommend, 78% of parents love it, A- CinemaScore). Amid a crowded family film market, early signs suggest it may find its footing — just like past underperformers did.
