Live-Action Moana Opens to a Lukewarm $43M

Disney's live-action voyage back to Motunui hit choppy waters this weekend, per reports. The Hollywood Reporter notes the film's $43 million opening nearly matches the disappointing start of last year's 'Snow White' remake.

The remake, starring Dwayne Johnson, is tracking significantly behind the massive launch of last fall's animated 'Moana 2.' According to Kotaku, the movie is bombing so severely it could lose over $100 million for the studio.

This marks another financial misstep for Disney's live-action remake machine, suggesting audiences' appetites for these rehashed adventures may finally be waning.
