Box Office: ‘Moana’ Flounders With $43 Million Debut, Among Weakest of Disney’s Live-Action Remakes

Disney's live-action Moana remake struggled during its opening weekend, earning $43 million from 3,827 North American theaters and $52 million internationally. While the film secured the No. 1 spot on domestic box office charts, its $95 million worldwide debut is considered catastrophic. These results are particularly disastrous because the production budget reached $250 million, a figure that does not include the company's significant marketing expenses, marking it among the weakest of Disney's live-action remakes.
