## Resource

Moana’s live-action debut hits the box office with a modest $95M global opening—far below its $250M budget—but audiences, especially parents, are loving it, giving it a solid A- CinemaScore and 78% thumbs-up. Critics aren’t thrilled, calling it a shot-for-shot remake, but the film’s strong family appeal could help it climb as summer hits. With competing family hits like Minions & Monsters and Toy Story 5, Moana’s real test is whether it can build momentum—and break through the ceiling on PG films.
