Summary
Moana’s live-action debut sailed into theaters with a modest $95 million global opening—far below its $250 million budget—raising eyebrows after past Disney remakes like Lion King and Beauty and the Beast crushed it at the box office. Critics panned it as a shot-for-shot remake, but audiences, especially parents, gave it a solid A- CinemaScore and recommended it. With a crowded family movie market featuring Minions & Monsters and Toy Story 5, Moana may be struggling to stand out—but don’t count it out yet; box office momentum can shift in the weeks ahead.
