Disney’s live-action ‘Moana’ crashes to shore with an underwhelming splash at the box office
Disney's live-action 'Moana' remake tops the box office but faces criticism for underperforming against expectations.
Where it stands
The live-action remake of 'Moana' has debuted with $43 million, securing the top spot at the box office. Despite this ranking, the film is described as underperforming and having opened behind expectations.
Coverage from People.com, Yahoo, and Euronews emphasizes the film's poor performance, with Yahoo noting that it is performing almost as badly as the Snow White remake. Screen Daily reports that the film also topped the UK-Ireland box office with £2.8 million.
Further developments will likely center on the film's continued box office trajectory and how its performance compares to other Disney remakes.
