Disney’s live-action Moana topped the box office this weekend, although with lower numbers than expected
The film, which stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and newcomer Catherine Laga’aia, brought in $43 million to debut at number one, Box Office Mojo reports
According to Variety, that amount was well below the projected $60 to $65 million the film, with a budget of $250 million, was expected to take in. It’s also well below previous Disney live-action remakes, including 2025’s Lilo & Stitch, which debuted with a box office of over $100 million
