THE ROCK'S MOANA LIVE ADAPTATION FAILS TO HIT AT THE BOX OFFICE

By Steven Fernandes on 2026-07-12 18:14:00

The live action Moana, starring The Rock as Maui, made $43 million on opening weekend in the US and $95 million worldwide, way less than the $130 miilion worldwide projected. 

Deadline also reported that the movie stands to lose between $100-$125 million.

The timing of the movie's release coming less than two years after the animated Moana 2 hit theaters is partly being blamed for the movie not doing great opening day numbers.
