Action 'Moana' Makes Only $18 Million on Opening Day
Disney's live-action remake of 'Moana' has underperformed at the box office, earning only $18 million on its opening day. The film is currently tracking significantly lower than previous Disney live-action adaptations and original animated hits.
Why it matters
The poor performance highlights potential audience fatigue regarding Disney's live-action remake strategy and raises questions about the studio's massive production investments.
The live-action Moana , starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Catherine Lagaʻaia, is off to a slow start after it made just $18 million on opening day, including $4.5 million in Thursday preview screenings, from 3,875 North American theaters.
The report relies on objective box office data and industry projections to describe the film's performance.
