Disney's live-action Moana underwhelms at box office despite franchise popularity

Disney's live-action remake of "Moana" debuted at No. 1 at the domestic box office but underperformed expectations, earning $43 million in its opening weekend. The film, which reportedly cost $250 million to produce, garnered a global debut of $95 million. Despite a promising A- CinemaScore from audiences, critics largely panned the movie as a shot-for-shot remake, contributing to its dismal 34% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The film's performance also comes amidst a crowded market for PG-rated family films. AI
