Dwayne Johnson’s live-action Moana opened below expectations. The Disney remake, with Johnson reprising his role as the demigod Maui, debuted to $43 million domestically and $95 million worldwide, finishing No. 1 but landing among the lowest openings of any Disney live-action remake. The film carries a reported $250 million production budget before marketing, and per Variety, it could lose around $100 million in its theatrical run. Its debut is close to 2025’s Snow White ($42 million) and well below the $139.7 million opening of the animated Moana 2 in 2024. The remake holds a 35% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes and an A- audience grade on CinemaScore. #DwayneJohnson #TheRock #Moana #BoxOffice #Disney
