Moana remake rebounds from weak debut to break a seven-year box office record

Dwayne Johnson's live-action Moana remake had a soft start, but its second weekend is making waves. According to ScreenRant, the $250 million project is now set to break a seven-year box office record.

The film's disappointing opening weekend seems to be a distant memory as it surges in its sophomore frame. The report indicates the remake is on track for a significant milestone not seen in theaters for nearly a decade.

No specific record was named, but the rebound suggests strong audience word-of-mouth could be carrying the voyage forward after a rocky launch.
