Disney Moana is not impressing at the box office. Disney’s live-action remake of the 2016 animated original brought in $43 million in its opening weekend at the North American box office. While that was enough to put it at No. 1 on the box office, it also lands among the lowest openings of all time among Disney’s live-action remakes, per Variety. It also faces a steep uphill battle to turn a profit, as it cost an estimated $250 million in production, not including marketing. It was projected to bring in $60-65 million stateside, meaning it underperformed even compared to estimations. The live-action Moana also brought in $52 million overseas, for a total launch of $95 million. In Disney’s live-action adaptation of the beloved Oscar-nominated animated adventure, Moana ( Catherine Laga’aia ) answers the Ocean’s call and, for the first time, voyages beyond the reef of her island of Motunui with the infamous demigod Maui ( Dwayne Johnson ) on an unforgettable journey to restore prosperity to her people. Last year’s Snow White live-action remake started at $42 million. Variety also reports that Moana “could lose around $100 million for the studio in its theatrical run.” Find out what the critics are saying about the remake.
