Part of situation: Moana live‑action flop persists, Hawaii gains (39 clusters)

Disney's live‑action “Moana” opens to $95 M worldwide and faces a six‑figure loss

Disney Moana box office financial loss live‑action remake

Disney’s live‑action remake of Moana earned $43 million in the United States and Canada and $52 million in other markets, for a $95 million global debut that fell short of the $130–$140 million opening expected by analysts. The film’s production cost was about $250 million; marketing is estimated at $100–$150 million, meaning the studio could lose $100 million‑$125 million, with some analysts warning total losses could exceed $200 million.

Critical response was poor, with a 34 % Rotten Tomatoes score, though audience polling showed a 90 % approval and an A‑minus CinemaScore. The opening week was crowded by family titles such as Minions & Monsters, Toy Story 5, and the horror entry Evil Dead Burn, which limited Moana’s box‑office ceiling.

The release also generated ancillary buzz: Dwayne Johnson’s Maui haircut sparked online memes, and newcomer Catherine Laga’aia discussed her casting and the film’s cultural work in interviews. Industry commentary linked the weak performance to possible “remake fatigue” and raised questions about Disney’s future live‑action strategy.
